Found this in the loft the other day. Was this an idea from RM. If the office was small in 1971 what would he make of it now

Re: Nothing Changes
Did not one of the major franchises attempt to deliver packets alongside their usual delivery of milk etc? Gave it up as it did not pay, much to the disappointment of Postcomm who granted the licence initially expecting it to lead to greater things.

I remember that little experiment! The milkman on my delivery used to throw the packets at the front door from the front gate if he didn't have to deliver the milk there. No wonder it didn't last long.

Milk and groceries ?
No, the public would rather have three leaflets each week.
