Running out of Mail

[Puppetmaster]

I can only speak for our office,another very busy week,today the busiest day of year ,like Dec,all finished late.I am so glad mail volumes are decreasing,having seent the amount of mail in our office today similar to Dec,we struggled with it,can you imagine what it would be like if mail was not decreasing?

Mail decreasing my arse, why do they insist in trying to tell the lads on the ground this pack of lies after all we are the ones lugging more and more bags around

[teruah]

mail is increasing, hundreds of houses every year are being built in our area, more houses = more mail, the population is increasing rapidly, more people = more mail. The internet has increased the number of packets loads as well, the businesses on the internet rely on RM.

Lapsing officially cancelled by managment in my office today due to the traffic figures. All that drop off in mail is really taking effect. It seems to be busier this year than this time last year but of course with all those texts & e-mails being used I must be imagining it.

comments from such as Lord Mandelson to the effect that email is taking over from hard copy mail are misguided - email is used in addition to hard copy and in fact has encouraged additional communication between people who never used letters in the first place and use email so that they don't have to talk to people on the phone (likewise texting). No one I know of would rather read online magazines or catalogues when they can leaf through a quality gloss compilation in their hands and the efficiency of spam filters ensures that no direct mailer would resort to email for fear that their unsolicited items wouldn't even reach the customer.
