Do they think it has actually cost the business any money to give us stamps they generate and do not pay for themselves.
Also who actually uses stamps these days. I have 4years worth and know of many others who have stamps going back years in cupboard.
Maybe we should all turn the table and send our stamps back with the note "Thanks for your generous gift but as the business is faring do badly i couldn't possibly accept them. Please receive my valuable stamps to save money and profits."
0ver 161000 x 20 stamps a person equals over 10 million savings. Wow! Put that back in thecoffers and our shares should be a lot healthier i think.
The OP cannot even get the number of stamps correct. This seems to be a 'troll' post and I would suggest it be removed or locked.
The views I express here are mine alone and do not represent the views of Royal Mail Group.

My wife always looks forward to receiving our stamps. We still have to buy another 50 for our xmas cards. 50 stamps and a bonus is much better than most other employees receive.

Thry dont cost business a bean to give you stamps. Its a fake bonus.
We should get reduced costs anyway like every other person who works for companies such as m and s, tesco... Etc.
We deserve so much more than stamps and pitiful bonus.
Posties are reason Royal Mail are so successful at xmas. They are the main reason people stick with Royal Mail rather than use rival companies.

hmm i dont think many choose RM due to pure loyalty. I think cost, efficiency and an overall great record of not losing stuff are the main reasons.

The stamps can be used to reduce costs on RM's delivery services!
