It still won't be enough for the shareholders, they'll still come after us!

And in a few years the growth of parcels means Royal Mail needs to expand at Mount Pleasant but it can't because it's sold its spare land there to satisfy the shareholders for a few months.

Selling off the family silver.

Erm, aren't we all shareholders?

No, we are not shareholders. We are employees who have some shares. A massive difference.

Yes, of course we are, and that's why we wouldn't now possibly even consider industrial action because that would most certainly be against our own interests.
