We've had the Radio Times on subscription for some years. It's always been delivered by Royal Mail. Today however it was delivered by a guy in a local newspaper van. No name or address on the sheet of paper with the mag, so the guy has a list of addresses it would seem.
Has RM lost the contract to deliver Radio Times I wonder ?

I take it your legs have stopped working ?, do some exercise and WALK down a shop ?, or if your really lazy, push the information button on your TV remote, hey presto, and guide to whats on for the next seven days.

No, my legs are in good working order. The fact is we live in a rural location, the nearest shop ( petrol station ) is 5 miles away.borgpicard wrote:GT750rider wrote:We've had the Radio Times on subscription for some years.

Yes, I could walk that, but I get the Radio Times on subscription via top cashback which saves me around £20.00. Plus I was giving Royal Mail some business. Now it appears RM have lost the contract as my original post said.
I was simply drawing attention to the fact.
I should have asked wether any other Posties have noticed they haven't had the mag on their delivery recently.

Same here. And the catalogues were put in the packet trolley, so I had to prep them myself. Not fair. My duty is meant to be prepped!GT85 wrote:Delivered a few copies of the Radio times today along with huge amounts of JD Williams and Next catalouges

Re: Radio Times
Delivered by the newsagent again this week. Looks like my Postie has at least one less item to deliver. Of course, if it goes nationwide, how much revenue is that Royal Mail has lost ?GT750rider wrote:We've had the Radio Times on subscription for some years. It's always been delivered by Royal Mail.
