I’ve been a staunch defender of the Royal Mail, and am against privatisation. But then stuff like this happens:

A delivery wrecked because the (Fleet-based) postie was too fucking lazy to post this and another item separately. Instead, he did what he always does and shoved everything through together. This from a local depot whose employees have already smashed to pieces one letterbox (which Royal Mail eventually grudgingly agreed to pay for) at our address through similar deliveries.

I get that these people are in a hurry, but it would actually be quicker to post each item individually than to pile them up and wedge them into the letterbox, before shoving them through. Sadly, I’m still pro-Royal Mail, if only because the other delivery companies in this area somehow often manage to be worse.
