I wouldn't use or buy anything from Royal mail after the Post Office scandal and in anticipation of replies, yes I know they are separate companies now. However, they are inextricably linked and they should all hang their heads in shame.

Presumably he also throws all his post away each day without opening it, along with any parcels Royal Mail delivers.

I think the last time I used a stamp we to send a form to the DVLA in 2019 - everything I do is online now.

Why, what has today done to deserve being stamped out by the Red Arrows ?

just because I choose not to use the Post Office doesn't mean that I won’t accept mail including parcels sent to me, I don't get the connection. Just to clarify for you Mike, Royal Mail and the Post Office are now separate organisations. the Post Office remains state owned for now. Whilst Royal Mail is owned by a Czech billionaire.

Daily mail deliveries are as rare as hens’ teeth or even bobbies on the beat, except when there is an election in the offing.

As it happens, I do throw out most of what is delivered by Royal Snail, as most of it is advertising junk and not mail. Those medical appointments that arrive by mail, are usually late and I mostly receive these appointments by text long before I ever receive a paper copy. I haven’t posted a letter, Christmas card nor parcel for many years and I have no intention of ever using the services of the Post Office again, due to the way that they shamefully treated their own staff. Make of that what you will.
Anything I need to order is delivered by Amazon usually on time and I can track it, if I need to without needing to pay extra. My views are just that, my own views and I don’t, nor can I stop others posting items to me.

As Speedbird 2639 has written, I do most of my business online now.one example is that TV Tax certificates are no longer issued in paper form.

Others are free to make their own decisions, last time I checked it was still a free country.

Just picked up some Red Arrows stamps myself.
Did it say on the booklet that there were 9 stamps but when you opened it there were only 7?

Buy the set next year, it will 8, then be back to 9 again the year after.
