Royal Mail advertising is an insult to intelligence

WHEN this Government privatised the Royal Mail it should have taken away the Royal from the title.

This company now not only insults the intelligence of the public with ridiculous advertising but does it in the name of our Queen. We pay excessive letter postage to pay for this advertising.

Two examples which are a waste of money are: one that states that "a parcel containing size 12 boots can be sent from only £2.60". Another advert for parcels said, in a letter from Royal Mail addressed and delivered to my home by Royal Mail, that "if undelivered return it to Royal Mail PO Box 33 Ross-on-Wye, HR9 9WA".

What is going wrong with this once prestigious service?

I don't think it would be all that hard to insult this guys intelligence. Meaningless drivel.

Who shot who in the what now?

I think one of his points is that why would a letter have a redelivery address if undelivered if it WAS delivered. Obviously that info is for the person killing off the letter but he probably thinks it's for his eyes.

I think.

Why is the analogy of size 12 boots insulting? I could think of worse things that are patronising / insulting/waste of money,call it what you will. World Class Mail,anybody? Now there's a thing.
