Is Royal Mail being disrespectful

[Deleted member 26715]

I just happened to notice a Royal Mail van today, no idea way, it had the royal insignia EIIR on the door, should they not be getting them replaced with CIIIR?

The better do it quick as the company that owns them have threatened to declare insolvency.

Anyway, I thought the ER version was a tribute to Esther Rantzen.

All hail King Brian (for Private Eye readers).

Another reason to delay my passport renewal.

No time limit on organisations or public bodies to change insignia.
Unlike royal appointments that have 3 years to remove it and then apply for a new one.

When are they going to get round to replacing all those horrible old VR letterboxes?

 

[DRM]

I wish they’d just get round to delivering letters in these parts, never mind messing about with stickers

You have virtual reality post boxes up your end?

As long as it isn't up his rear end ...

That sounds rude. But it might be me.

Thought it was only as they were replaced

I pass one of those every morning on my usual walking route.

I didn't know they had virtual reality post boxes. Are they for emails?

 

[Reynard]

I dunno about virtual reality post boxes. I'd much rather have a real one again.

The one at the top of the road keeps getting nicked - the last one barely lasted a handful of months, and that's after it took them two years to replace it. (Got nicked during first lockdown)

It's been five months and counting...

Given everything which is happening at RM my guess is either this hasn't been considered or to spend ££££ would be at best insensitive, at worst inflammatory towards the workers and unions.

I can't say I'm concerned and I doubt Charles is either.
