'7. Amazon takes over our post

What does anyone get in the post anymore? Junk mail and parcels from Amazon. Yet while we buy more stuff online and get it delivered via the Post Office, the service gets worse. Sooner or later, Amazon will work out that the biggest threat to its growth is the reliability and speed of deliveries. How can it fix that? By taking over the Post Office. A cash-strapped government will happily sell. With Amazon in charge, our 2014 Christmas post might arrive on time.'

Just sharin' it as I see it

Amazon taking over the Post Office will not ensure a better quality of delivery .. it is Royal Mail that does the delivery ..

re-write as follows ...

One unsurprising journalistic surprise to watch for in the year ahead ...

lol

no way will amazon be taking over us unless they can submit real accounts for their normal business so they can pay the correct tax

[End of the road]

Amazon will become more active in the next few years as its hold becomes stronger on the British market unless it continues to avoid our tax system and then it could suffer a backlash. Royal Mail needs to get its house in order for the e commerce explosion, its the only player with the clout to re invent itself and move on ................... hang on with the present management forget it

HMV will survive to sell another day , smaller, leaner and more diverse a link up with Red5 could prove to help both companies.
