Twice as many people sympathise with the Postal Workers rather than the Royal Mail management in the postal dispute

Half of those surveyed (50%) sympathised with the postal workers and the Unions as opposed to the Royal Mail management (25%) according to an opinion poll carried out by ComRes for BBC Two's Newsnight.

However, the vast majority of people do not think that the Royal Mail should be privatised (68%), with only 22% thinking that it should be.

Asked how long they thought the Royal Mail will continue as the sole provider of door to door delivery, more than half (56%) think that they will continue as the sole provider for less than five years. Around one in ten (13%) think they’ll last less than a year.

The image of the friendly neighbourhood postie seems long gone, as only one in seven people know the name of their postman (14%) and, broken down across the country, this is just 1 in 25 (4%) in the South East.

Knowing a postie's name is hardly a measure of whether or not he/she is friendly... how can you use stats to quantify something like friendliness?

The main reason that people don't know their posties name is the constant changing of duties and the people on them.

I had a woman on my round who used a couple of other things to show me she was friendly

there was a receptionist that was very friendly to " " Postman " Omar " on the net , obviously a old film - he looked smart in that uniform and had a light bag

they should have had him in the Office for willful delay
