how much more can we take?

with the midle east etc all goin to rat shit, dictatorships crashing down, governments and societies crumblimg...

how long before they use this as yet anotehr excuse to put uf fuel prices - so our petrol / diesel will go up, as will our home enerbgy supplies of gas and electricity. this will result in retailers putting their prices up to cover the extra costs, etc etc and everything will spiral out of ocntrol

the only thing that doesn't seem to be going up is wages! I haven't had a payrise in 2 years as profits etc are so low, so how can we keep paying these stupid high prices?

Royal Mail - killing themselves off

Are the manager's / executive's at the top of the Royal Mail totally stupid?

We all know that email, online messaging (IM) and text are becoming more and more popular, as they are quicker, easier, cheaper or even FREE.

Yet the idiots in charge of our already failing postal system put the prices up! Unless of course you are a business and have a franking machine!

They claim it is because of increasing costs. Well if that is the case surely if you register online and use the site to print the postage directly onto your mail then that should be discounted as well. After all there are no costs to the royal mail, and they even have your money in advance!

But no, they are killing an already dying service.
