RMCtv : Christmas stamps for colleagues - look out for yours coming soon

Post by POSTMAN »

Look out for your 50 First Class festive stamps and Christmas card – a thank you from our Chairman and CEO to all eligible colleagues for helping us to deliver another great Christmas for our customers.

Our 2021 Christmas stamps - depictions of the Nativity designed by internationally renowned artist Jorge Cocco - will begin to arrive from tomorrow (Saturday 27 November.)

This year, some of our Christmas stamps will feature barcodes. The addition will ensure that each barcoded stamp can be uniquely identified, which will pave the way for innovative customer services in the future.

Our first Christmas Special Stamps were issued on December 1 1966 and were the result of a children’s art competition announced by the Postmaster General, Tony Benn, in May of that year.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

50 1st class stamps would cost £38 to buy, but I doubt whether if costs the company anywhere near that much.

Lets rephrase that.... "This year, some of our Christmas stamps will feature barcodes. The addition will ensure that each barcoded stamp can be uniquely identified, so we can tell who has flogged them on Ebay"

I would rather have Bitcoin.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
