No wonder they are angry.
During a Commons hearing, Royal Mail boss Simon Thompson was grilled by MPs over his annual salary of £540,000 and the £140,000 bonus he was awarded despite the worsening state of the service and workers striking over pay and conditions
And then
Nick Read, the chief executive of Royal Mail, also confirmed his yearly salary is £415,000 and he got a £400,000 bonus last year.
And the Govt wonder why people strike.
Business not to great and the CE gets £400000 bonus.

I am sure the Royal Mail will collapse at some stage, most things are not sent in the post now, wage slips etc are emailed most of the time. They deliver more junk mail to my house than post now. Running at a loss and taking big bonuses, that is not the answer is it, just making the ship sink faster.

I was going to add I had one months of post delivered at once in December. Not quite as bad as Spain as in my country place I have not had post for about 5 years.

The Mafia boss in Italy should have rented it off you Fred and he would never have been apprehended

Completely unjustifiable remuneration and typifies what is going wrong in the UK.

No problem with the post where I live here in Spain.

My postman and service in the UK is excellent, unless they are on strike, but I know so all is OK. And they deliver to my house at no extra charge.
When I was in Spain, like freddo, never had a letter, but there again never paid for a post box in the correos.

Just contact correos online and tell them your problem, easy peasy.
I had no mail for about six weeks backend of November so lodged a complaint to
https://www.correos.es/es/en/customer-s ... -complaint and had a reply to say that they will look into it and a day later our postbox was stuffed with letters.
I'm surprised that freddo didn't know this all the years that he's lived here.
