We all know post is in decline worldwide. We have all heard about different countries reducing their own USO....the UK is about to do the same.

If the USO changes happen here, then the UK isn't far off delivering mail every other day if most of what we deliver is 2nd class mail.

What's any of that got to do with DK asking the NL Government for more money and being declined??

lol years back all We heard was Ah the Dutch model this the Dutch model that , horse shoe shaped Dutch sorting this etc

LRB article from 2011:

I wondered what Fehilly thought of the Sandd system, and told him I was on my way to the Netherlands to see how their private postmen operated. Fehilly didn’t see why it couldn’t work in Britain. ‘We can prepare the mail for delivery,’ he said. ‘We can go and deliver a sack of mail to some mother’s house who’s just dropped her kids at school, she can spend two or three hours delivering mail in her area – it’s a model we’re aware of and would like to use. We’re stuck with a large workforce … [the Dutch model] is a model we’ve spoken of and would like to do in the future.’
