What's next cos soon there will be nothing left.

Next up is the Royal Mail phasing out legs as walking can in some cases result in a twisted ankle in the environment outside the sorting office.

From September 2012 we will no longer be able to post things in envelopes in case a postman receives a papercut.

After this the sorting offices will go in case one someone working in one of them has some sort of accident at any point in the next 10,000 years including a twisted ankle or papercut.

You heard it here second folks.

Now where can I get me one of those iconic bicycles?

However I only want you to answer that question after telling me how the F*** it can possibly be construed by anyone with even a quarter of a braincell that it is cheaper to run a fleet of vans than a fleet of bicycles or human feet.

Consider it the cyclechat challenge for the day if you wish.

Apologies for being slightly OT, I've never been physically violent in my life but why do I (since the FA days) want to punch Adam Crozier in the mush.

Do you work for the Daily Mail?

Nah they alledgedly use journalists rather than decorators.

But if I did write for them the headline would probably read something like "Foreign made vans steal jobs from our postmans bicycles"

Well it may just be that he is the person without a quarter of a braincell who actually does think it's cheaper to run a van than a bicycle. Considering what he did to the FA and what he has done and is doing the Post Office I think many will agree with me.

I believe that the qualification to run a public body is a massive education coupled with no common sense whatsoever.

I accept that it could be my age, but there appear to be many decisions being made in this world of late that 'I just don't get'. This sits quite comfortably in that category.

Still, the thought of nabbing one of those bikes and giving it a transformation into something like Livestrong livery kinda appeals!

Blimey talk about old news. They have been phasing in CDV deliveries for the last 12 months and talking about it for even longer.

Problem is they have no cash left to implement and run the cdv's they have already purchased and taxed, their solution is to sell some of the cdv's at a knock down price and get postie to deliver more mail on foot in less time to try and recoupe losses.

This bid for (in)efficiency and saving (not) money also brought in automated sorting machines at the cost of billions, I'm sure everyone must have noticed how they are receiving their mail much earlier these days

Don't forget the sole shareholder in RM is the government, and whilst profits pre-efficiency where in the billions and are now down to the odd coppers and a wall of debt, good old Joe -public can foot the bill until the shareholder sells its stake to a private foreign investor for 1p and aforementioned investors stems the tide of efficiency to take the aforementioned Billions back to the eurozone.

Maybe it is the UK's way of propping up the Euro on the sly.

If he did it would explain the state of that business.
