Why isn't anyone asking the question of letter volumes may be down but overall revenue from letters is up 11.8% so you are now making more money from letters 🧐

Even royal mail have admitted that they still make half there profit off letters its clear in the future apparently the union also agree that the mail is gonna flatten out at about 4 billion they are just priming the public for a shitier service while robbing them :shock:

I would have to be delighted with mail 3 days a week because at the moment I only get it once a week, twice if I'm lucky!

Even royal mail have admitted that they still make half their profit off letters
Given that RM make a loss where is the evidence that half the profit comes from letters?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I meant revenue I read a news article not to long ago and they still make about 40% off letters and 60% off parcels although it is projected to change moving forward but they have made profit the last quarter of 2023.
