47 pence to post a letter. 47 pence! 10 bob! To post a f**king letter!

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

THIS is what 70 years of socialism does.

[Mc Gooner]

Pity it costs so much to send it :hehe:

[Maravilloso Marvo]

Trying to keep morale up amongst our troops?

Can't you send an email?

[Frimmers]

So I'm certain that the price will go down.

Definitely.

:nod:

I hate all this internet banking nonsense. Tradesmen and suchlike should send one an account every 6 months. This account will be paid promptly after a few months. (Tailors and vintners may have to wait a little longer.)

[Frimmers]

[Maravilloso Marvo]

I thought a man of your type would be strictly cash on the hip.

[Frimmers]

f**king irritating imo.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

Paying all those Gauleiters and Political Commissars is a sensible use of funds.

[Frimmers]

No rush, eh?

[Hillary]

down to the fact that they need Royal Mail to become more profitable in order for it to be successfully privatised.

Or you using "Socialism" in its US definition, i.e. slightly left of Mussolini.

[Mack]

put the second class into a 'deliver whenever' ? Weird imo.

[Bergkamp's Brain]

no need to thank me

[HomerJ]

[Berni]

I asked him if that entitled me to use the first class portion of the vehicle and he told me to 'stop taking the p*ss'.

Baffling.

[Hillary]

[ArseMart - Enjoy every sandwich]

Difficult for a non-English person to understand but we feel safe knowing our places.

First class only for special stuff. Second class for everything else.

[Sir Charlie of Nicholas]

[Hillary]

various levels of Special Delivery for guaranteed delivery by a certain time.

2nd class generally takes only 2-3 days anyway.

[Steve Williams - gay for Mark Knopfler]

Post takes 2-3 days no matter what you send, and we don't bother on saturday's because it is a saturday.

[The Tony]

Probably cheaper to pay a local cab firm to deliver it for u.....

You can take a photo of a cheque or 'check' as they call it and upload it straight to the bank.

I thought that's a good idea but at the same time odd. Using modern technology for the photo part but hanging on to the old fashioned stuff by still using cheques.
