Any info on when RM is going to be on sale

[POSTWOMAN]

With ongoing revisions, dodgy world class mail awards, possible increase in stamp prices, staff reductions and and all of a sudden RM making million pound profits per day---does anyone has any inside info on RM sale.

word is going round they are pumping up RM to sell it at higher price

am scared cuz one day u read newspaper and u see RM has been sold to some chinese or indian company.

They wont "pump it up to sell at a higher price"... the only reason we've not been sold off yet is no-one can afford to buy us as we are still a relatively successful business, despite RM doing their best to cook the books and hide the profits.

The only way they will sell us off is by doing the exact opposite of "pumping us up"... they will destroy the quality of service, destroy the profitability and alienate us from any form of public support and sympathy, then they'll probably sell us off for a nominal £1 or something.

Don't get curried away, you'll give yourself a dodgy Tikka !

Seriously, didn't I read recently that Privatisation will not now happen before April 2013, at the very earliest ? So at least 18months yet before the process of trying to sell it can begin.
