Double negatives - so uncouth.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

The Daily Mail - Why bother being objective when you can pander to bigots instead?

"We posted 20 first and second-class letters last Saturday morning from locations as diverse as Glasgow and the village of Ditchling near the South Coast. In the not-too-distant past, the post would have arrived in dribs and drabs throughout the first half of the week.

But, on this occasion, all of the letters arrived through the letterbox of a South-West London address by 9am on Monday"

Oh sounds bloody dreadful :roll:

100% of letters got there by the next working day.. and this is a rip off because?

''A Royal Mail spokesman said: ‘There has been no change at all in the service specification for first and second-class mail. The specification for second-class mail is still to deliver it within three working days after posting.

‘There is no commitment from Royal Mail that second-class mail posted on a Saturday will arrive earlier than the specification.

‘Mail volumes on a Saturday are very much lower than in the rest of the week, and stamped mail makes up a very small fraction of it.''



If mail volumes on a Saturday are very much lower than the rest of the week why are are we working longer and later on Saturdays

Maybe because the mail posted on a Saturday isn't delivered the same day...? :whistle
