I think it all depends on what level of delivery staff they are using. If its the same type of agency staff that wander around in a daze delivering leaflets then i think that we are pretty safe as you could never trust these people with packets let alone registered mail. However if they are training and using their own fully vetted staff, that could be more of a long term problem :hmmmm
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Will they be paying a London weighting do you think - RM may start employing them if they can manage on ordinary wages - sort of sub-contracting to TNT :shhhhh
