Is Royal Mail being disrespectful

[Drago]

The new style appears to have the monarchs initials on a separate plate, so it probably would not be too onerous to update it anyone had the will to do so.

Also it seems you can by repro ones for the home...

I'm not looking for a scrap just felt my original post answered the question as to why RM is ignoring a change to CR or whatever it will be.

It wasn't particularly aimed at yourself, it was a comment in general of the way I expect the thread to go

But it has not gone awry. The original question has progressed into an interesting and civilised conversation.

Maybe Charles should abdicate, Andrew is disgraced , and Edward become king. We would then not need to do all these changes, and save billions.

Technically, if Charles abdicates, Prince William is next.

Technically yes, if we’re being serious 🧐

My final year undergraduates are currently doing a week-long time-constrained case study on Royal Mail. This is not the week for them to decide to go into administration

However, I do perceive it as a power play between management and the unions. The case study I put together from various media sources turned out to be quite enlightening, but definitely in NCAP territory.

Anyone seen those new postboxes, the small ones on posts? They look like they've been made of pressed steel, and probably were. The old cast ones are a thing of industrial beauty, part of our industrial heritage.

Yep, that's the type we have out here in the boonies. Our latest replacement was one of those, prior to that it were the cast iron jobbies. Trouble is, and that's with either type, it only takes one bloke and a digger to make off with them...

I'm relatively lucky, the next nearest box is on a small industrial estate a mile away, so a quick bicycular bimble is all that it takes, but the people in the next hamlet along have a 10 mile round trip to the nearest box.

The new ones don't gave the elegance of the old. They certainly won't last long in comparison.

Going back to the original post, I don't think they'll bother changing E11R to C111R on the older vehicles,but perhaps on the newer vehicles they will, brand new vehicles will have the updated logo as they're delivered.

Couldn't they just get a matching red Sharpie or touch-up paint to remove the middle bit of the E?

That's a point I never noticed the Reg

Did they have vans in the 1600's?

Don't see why not, times are hard after all
