2+2 = 19 eh?

{Of course, you wouldn't be failing due to those crap IMPs and all the 2nd class etc transfered from POMC, would you now? :wink: }

nope,the main factor is that operators have to keep hitting the stop button to tie back the machine since the new "one pass" outward/inward plan...

The packets are failing as they will be treated as low priority due to not being micro chipped,so letters will always take priority.

How can you say that?
Allegedly POMC are processing about 20 letters a day now, and the rest is all done by SOMC.
Hardly down to some dramatic rise in DSA ... :shhhhh

Well if you are failing that means you are safe from closure.

Crewe almost always clears, and was consistently in the top 20 of the MC league tables, and we're shut in a few weeks.

Fail = Safe

Start clearing and you'll soon be getting a visit from the clear choice androids and a dole cheque.

RM logic, can't beat it.
