Back in Britain, news that rivals were waiting in the wings to target the lucrative parts of the Royal Mail business, currently dogged by strikes, worried JonDess: "I bet the rival delivery companies wouldn't give a s**t for rural addresses – can't make enough profit, they'll cherry-pick any profitable bit and ignore the rest. Think about it – who actually delivers the post to every house in Britain – Royal Mail. The private companies just want to get their grubby hands on the easy bits – like business mail – and pass the difficult bit to someone else. If they want to compete evenly with the Royal Mail then enforce a universal service obligation on them and watch them scuttle away back under their stones."
