Sun giveaway:D2D 12/13 JUNE

[daveyeff]

Has RM got the contract for this or was it lost to someone else?

Is there anyone else who could deliver them to every UK address on the same day?

no. thats why ''the sun'' would have to relent on their demands for it to go out on a single saturday. and RM knows this.

does anyone know if these are definately coming in?? the Dom had everybody in the middle of the floor today to talk about summer lapsing, and someone asked about the mass mailing of the sun newspaper on thursday and friday next week. the Dom just shrugged his shoulders and said he'd never heard a thing about it, are you sure you've got it right? where's the source of this ''rumour'' come from....ive never heard a thing. !! now i may be cynical, but surely you would think the management of the d.o,s would've had some word by now. there just seems to be too much info about it, for it to be just a rumour. unless of course the are trying to keep it quiet so as not to trigger mass sick/absence.

100% its coming in but ONLY England (not Liverpool) - Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales have escaped it. As a kind of confirmation we had a WTL on it today, and yesterday we had a D2D control sheet for next week with NewsCorp as one of the contracts.

I could have sworn I read somewhere that lapsing would be suspended for these 2 days but I can't find it - our DOM just laughed when asked about this.

It didn't specially mention lapsing being suspended but it did say http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... 53&t=62460" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

All agreed plans must factor in D2D contracts and must include the national D2D drop planned for the 12th and 13th of June.

[Hitcher]

Yeah that must be it.

Cheers.

Under the Barnet Forumla and if based on a per capita basis London actually get more per person from the Government than Scotland.

Area = Per capita = % of UK average identifiable expenditure

Scotland £8,623 - 117%
Wales £8,739 - 111%
Northern Ireland £9,385 - 127%

North East £8,177 – 111%
North West £7,798 – 106%
Yorkshire and Humberside £8,188 – 115%
East Midlands £6,491 – 88%
West Midlands £7,065 – 96%
Eastern £6,144 – 83%
London £8,704 – 124%
South East £6,304 – 86%
South West £8,677 – 121%

So if we are getting stung in England - its because of the choices made by the Government in Westminster, and no fault of the scots themselves.
