How long has the postman got left?
Discussion
This came up in conversation with my missus the other day and I thought it might be worthy of a thead...
How long has the door to door postman actually got left? It struck me that basically everything that comes through the door, delivered by our postman is either crap that we just put in the bin or something that could easily be just emailed or a paper duplicate of an email I already have (statements etc).
Royal Mail have recently changed their rules on postage so that they no longer deal with larger items. They are dealt with by Parcel Farce instead. Posties only carry around much smaller items or letters these days, everything else being dealt with by couriers. Couriers such as collect+ or myhermes now offer a much more cost effective courier service for smaller items, and does anyone actually send personal letters any more?
Surely there isn't really a need for the local door to door postie these days?
