What happened to fair competition and all that. We should refuse TNTs mail then the companys won't have any choice but to come to us, thats if they want their junk delivered.
We cant refuse dsa because we have been told we must give our competitors access our network .
This in addition to giving them hugely a discounted rate of 14p an item.
This was governments\Brussels theory that it would give our competition a boost .The argument was that as a monopoly we had had an unfair advantage.
The irony? has it encouraged any companies to invest in delivery infrastructure,ie postman, post boxes or sorting offices.
no! because theres already profit to made in picking up a mail trays from customers and just dropping them on us.
Your analysis is spot on but why have all the other EU governments not done as NEW LABOUR has done unto us and royalmail!.
A good question !just don't know the answer!
Maybe Brussels has given them the same directive and they are wisely dragging their heels.
I'm a postman-and i know where you live.....

Yep and why did NEW LABOUR send us in head first with their boot up our backside after taking 3 billion pounds out of royalmail and creating the pension crisis by their FRS -17 accounting procedures! Maybe they just hold on to grudges to long!.

I think thats why the government want rid of us. They wash their hands completely of the pensions crisis that they caused. :evil/mad
