The Royal Mail was once the envy of the world, and would boast that a first-class stamp posted anywhere in the United Kingdom would get to its destination the following day.
Royal Mail staff were issued with a smart suit and a cap bearing the Royal crest and took pride not only in their appearance but in the Royal mail itself.
Sadly, in the 21st century this once proud organisation finds itself at the bottom of the league of British postal services. Its staff in terms of a smart appearance a former shadow of there forefathers.
And the service today does not match the standards once set by Royal Mail. On January 8th this year, I posted first class a thank you card with some money to my granddaughter in Burnley to thank her for helping me with a project.
The card had not arrived at the Burnley address as at February 4th. Surely the distance from Clitheroe to Burnley would not take 21 days to reach its destination. I can only presume that the letter has been lost or damaged or perhaps the contents stolen.
Ok some of you may say you should have sent it recorded delivery, but why should you have to, If you pay for your stamp you are basically a Royal Mail customer. And obviously expect a service, It seems the post and the rail services in this country are the laughing stock of Europe due to sheer incompetence.
Simon Entwistle,
Clitheroe

Burnley Express readers' letters: Royal Mail 'bottom of the league of British postal services'
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

RM is bottom of the league in a one team league. No other companies is a “postal service”. ??? Nobody else delivers mail. Really we are also the best too.

Which is what gave it value, which has since been cashed in and spent. What you see is the husk left over.
Interestingly, Burnley returned a Lib Dem MP in 2010.
The machine stops.

Who seriously still sends money inside a card, I wonder if you did that anywhere else in the world it would arrive at it's destination?
