Roll up, roll up! Everything's for sale. Even your kitchen sink if it's handy. They're talking about selling Royal Mail to a foreign buyer, with Germany's Deutsche Post front runners. Or front marchers.

I can detect now the stamp of the jackbooted postie storming up your garden path with ways and means of delivering your letters.

Make sure your correspondent has paid the exact postage or they'll come and take you away.

Pillar boxes would be redesigned (kid you not), their ER monogram removed and painted black.

A touch of the achtungs in the post. I can hear you wailing "nothing is sacred". Remember, you read this here first, penned by somebody who claims he took the goose step out of the Germans. I've heard it said Hitler wasn't all bad. The Fuhrer for Postmaster General?
