The Royal Mail has begun a trial scheme across East Anglia pinpointing the exact location of homes and businesses and plans to sell on the information to sat nav companies.
Postal workers are using handheld computers to record the exact location of homes and businesses.
But there are concerns that it is an infringement of privacy.

Video:Concern over Royal Mail GPS scheme
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Can't see personally how it's any more of an 'invasion of privacy' than was google's streetview project, or existing satnav systems.
A residential postcode already identifies a particular segment of a specific street; all the Royal Mail GPS scheme does is fine-tune that information
