Allan Leighton calls time as chairman at Royal Mail

[norbert]

could it be the toys are out the pram again as the government have said no again to his privatisation plans?

Heres hoping and lets hope his little lapdog follows him off into the sunset

New Liebour said he was high maintenance :lfo :cfo

As a prezzie I suppose we could out of the kindness of our hearts offer him some bogus phoney RM shares.

He can have mine or we could always club together all our holiday vouchers from a couple of years ago and send them to him

But they wouldn't get him very far unfortunately.

Just a few feet more please....

Oh no, he can't have those, he'll have to leave them behind if he leaves the business

A pressie? For those who remember, I believe a packet of seeds is meant to be an appropriate token of appreciation in Royal Mail!

Very Nice Scenic venue for a leaving party for Big Al & his Senior Management team colleagues to see him off on his way

Words of The Who:

Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss

There's nothing in the street
Looks any different to me
And the slogans are replaced, by-the-bye
And the parting on the left
Is now the parting on the right
And the beards have all grown longer overnight

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a bow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around me
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday

Apparently the :lfo & :cfo Plasma TV is a Walmart idea - " direct and clear communication " - all Sam Walton stuff or at least it was until his microlight plane hit that telegraph pole ( couldn't happen to a nicer person ! ) .

Big Al would have got Nigel's & Sebastians from PR firms with pony- tails and red rimmed glasses to make that patronizing - often union bashing drivel for you all to watch but RM can't run a bath so you can't expect a stream feed to work , you can have C4 OD & BBC iPlayer on your PC but

It was Stephen Byers of New Liebour that got him in "to sort out" CWU opposition to split ups and potential privatization , but that's the smiling wonder Tony B-Liar the fawning overgrown ex public schoolboy wanting to hang onto the coat tails of spivs and celebrities for you

[rockytony67]

I can remember when spiv's were lovable cheeky chappies

Psst, you forgot about the horizon fiasco that cost 100 million

Ah yes horizion the vision of the future too bad that the (NEW LABOUR GOVERNMENT) did not have the same vision of royalmail!. Lets pay all state pension's and dole payment's into the banking system?. And then thus close 7500 postoffice's the last 2500 recently!. But the banking system must be subsidised to the tune of ten's of billion's of pound's!. THE POST OFFICE COULD AND WOULD HAVE PROVIDED THE SAME SERVICE AT LESS COST TO THE TAX PAYER AND BEEN A MORE RELIABLE PLACE TO INVEST IN THE UK IN THE HEART OF OUR COMMUNITY!.
