Mail delivery

[HellNoHellYeah]

Is receiving post now a thing of the past. What is the latest status? Have Royal Mail closed down entirely for good?

We had an old codger round today. The one we had before we were once again rudely interrupted by some youth aiming to scale rockeries, plough up lawns etc.

In Spain, the banks always had their own door-to-door delivery folk in the major towns/cities, owing to crap public service post. It may be that here in the UK it'll be internet notification or nothing before long.

Indeed... of course several banks/insurance companies are starting to offer products which are "paper-free". Seems like the obvious thing to do, in terms of environmental impact, costs, and also convenience. Paper bills seem pretty pointless in most cases too.

Often paper bills or statements are needed for ID purposes, when opening a new bank account, applying for a mortgage or whatever. Fuck the postal strikers, I am sick of them!
