Sent Two Parcels Today

[securespark]

One to Luton, first class.

One to Maryland USA, Airmail.

Both very similar weights, around 225g.

The one to Luton cost 40p les than the one to the States.

Though "airmail" seems to translate as "we will let it sit arround in a warehosue for a week or two until there is a plane with some spare room on it". If you actually want a fast international service you have to pay a lot more.

They're fattening up Royal Mail's bottom line for the forthcoming privatisation.

It will go the same way as the utilities and energy privatisations of the 80s. Another essental service, ends up being operated and owned by foreign concerns who screw the consumers to keep the shareholders happy.

And I'm a Thather's child!
