Thanx KM
It is for the moment
Though by 2009 I believe the warehouse will be no more - is already half the size it was when I started
Thats when the lease is up
And when the new Regional Delivery Centre right next door will be open - They are extending the current mail centre next door into an RDC and closing down the same at Oxford and Reading
Prime building land
= big bucks
Plus by 2009 there will be very few PO left open to supply
The crown offices are already being merged into WHSmiths with the alterations to WHSmiths stores being paid for by RM
Tis a shame
Royal Mail is obligated to deliver to EVERY house in the UK and losses money on the delivery side
Partly due to having to deliver the competitors mail also
Years of Government cash syphoning ( when RM was a civil service ) has left it backward in terms of technology
Instead of re investing the government just used the cash for other stuff
Opening it up to competition has just shown how poor it was in being able to compete
Usual story
