free newspapers......
Every wednesday a lady comes down my street pushing one of them old fashioned prams full of the free paper we get which in turn are stuffed with leaflets for tesco, morrisons,adi etc etc...
Question is how long before it's us delivering the free papers?

Maybe thats what the agreement means by
"commercial opportunities are likely to exist particularly for named/specific day(s) products and/or Saturdays which may provide Royal Mail with additional scope for increased revenue."
So in answer to your question. how long before it's us delivering the free papers?
Quite possibly sooner than you think.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
