30 million to change the name, Royal Mail managers like throwing money down the drain.

Throughout the 1990s, when the Post Office's monopoly services were making bumper profits, the Treasury used the business as its private piggy bank - to be raided at will.

So not only was the company paying tax, it was also forced to submit a special dividend. In some years, that meant the Post Office was paying government £1m every day.

Some of this money should have been reinvested in the business, developing new technologies and updating plant and equipment.

Instead the cash was sucked up by the state, never to be seen again.

Leighton was brought in to stop the rot, renaming Consignia Royal Mail plc - and the cost? - 40,000 postal workers jobs - we now have a new supremo and guess who's going to be paying the price this time - yep you've guessed it.

The current thing is called 'One Plan'. I suppose it gives some people a job.
