Ringy Rose Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Non-Believer said: The Post Office is already itself well immersed in the "gig" economy by employing any number of casual ZHC staff, often to replace departing/retiring full-timers. Even on ZHC they still pay employer's NICs, which is more than the likes of MyHerpes and their "self-employed" delivery drivers do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The elephant in the room is the daily post delivery. Look at how people greeted the abolition of Saturday mail deliveries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at how people greeted the abolition of Saturday mail deliveries. Literally THE only purpose of sending a letter at 73p or whatever is the fact that there is a daily delivery service. It’s sad the the post office want to move to a new model where it looks like it’s simply too match hassle to deliver post when people expect post.

You sure about that? I regard myself as a customer of say Manx Utilities and pay their invoices, say a week after receipt. Others take longer.

Times have changed, nobody sends letters (or telegrams) any more. 25 years ago Blockbuster Video was all the rage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
