Whatever happened to...

Post by Barry Trotter »

Whatever happened to the dodgy irish parcel company Royal mail bought over? If I remember correctly one of the subsidiary companies of it made porn films.

Wasn't the Irish parcel company formally owned by the Stiff Brothers?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.
