Haha unbelievable

[Barnacle]

Think they are trolling themselves now.

[PenfoldMouse]

who got paid a bag full of cash to come up with this rubbish?

[fadetogrey63]

Well sure is worded correct, most of the mail we deliver ends up straight in the bin anyhow!

[clashcityrocker]

Given that the average person receives 4 pieces of mail/week why would they care?
First class will remain a 6 day/week service and parcels 7.
Who is interested enough about the rest to look on a website?

[Mr Rush]

I'm still unsure if this is real or not, such is Clownworld.

Permit me to read from Roy Mayall's Dear Granny Smith, A Letter From Your Postman:

[Starbursting:]
The idea is that we will all go out on delivery in the backs of vans in teams. We will burst from the back of the van with our pre-packed bags [...] and then scatter, delivering as we go. The vans will carry lots of spare bags of mail, and the posties will follow the vans up and down the roads. A bit like the way bin men currently work, a team of guys following a big van. Only this will be in reverse. We bring you your rubbish, the bin men take it away again.

Most people can't be bothered to look on a website to see when the essential parcel they ordered is due for delivery to ensure
that arrangements are in place for them to receive it, never mind checking what day their holiday brochures are going to be delivered.

They don’t even know letters/brochures are about to arrive, so why would they go on a website to check the arrival date of an item they don’t even know is on its way? Farcical

I hope the board haven’t seen this. We’ll be doing that next. Will only need 5 big vans per office. Genius idea.

Starbursting predates P&L. The book is from 2009.

Yes. We were a trial office.
It was a shambles, but at the end management threw their hands up and left it to us to sort out.
We did... Then a revision followed.

How could they not see it was going to be a shambles just by the description of it?? How they can’t spot an idiotic idea, is one of the great mysteries of our time.

It won’t tho because clearly 1st class is being priced out of the market and therefore will barely exist especially with an actual stamp
