Stupid little things that bug you

That's Royal Mail's excuse for their twice yearly well above inflation price rises. Demand is down so we whack up the prices and also dilute the level of service. Why not implement reforms that actually increase productivity and efficiency and lower their huge costs instead of just whacking the prices up? They shouldn't make the public pay for their inefficiency and shambolic service. Re-nationalisation just might stop the regular profiteering piss take of Royal Mail's pricing policy.

It's not an excuse by me, the Royal Mail bosses or anyone else.
I can't think of the last letter I wrote it was that long ago. No one sends birthday cards or get well cards and no business has written to me in yonks.
If it wasn't for all the free shit, Royal Mail would have nothing to post through my letter box. If, instead of increasing prices they dropped it to 10 pence for first class there would be no increase in trade.
Except for parcels it's a dead industry.

Exactly how will renationalisation stop the price rises?
I would say it is down to the fact that no one writes letters anymore, very few send birthday cards, (and when they do the posty nicks them) and banks and others don't send paper statements or documents through the post.

And Royal Mail completely failed to take advantage when on line shopping took off. White van man got most of the trade.

Royal Mail are increasing the cost of a first class stamp for the fifth time in 18 months on 7th October, this time by a whopping 30p making the cost of sending a first class letter £1.65. On top of that the bloke in my local post office told me that it's set to go up again March next year making it six price increases in just under two years. They're currently pushing for Saturday deliveries to be canned too. Time for Royal Mail to be re-nationalised.

Who will know if Royal Mail stop Saturday deliveries? We’re lucky if we get post once a week.
 
Getting charged every time I use my card. Then going to the ATM to get cash out so I don't have to use my card.
Getting charged to take money out.

You can't win

Have you not got free ATMs in your neck of the woods? And who’s charging you for using your card anyway?

Totally agree. On a dual carriageway they are in the nearside lane doing 48mph.
An Hgv is having to overtake them which slows the rest of us down and they haven't got a scooby about the carnage they are causing.
I've told Mrs Mist that if I'm ever overtaken by an Hgv I will sack driving.

As a lorry driver, one of the most frustrating things on the motorway is approaching a car doing less than 56mph (my max limit), committing to overtake them, only to watch them accelerate, leaving me hanging in the middle lane.
Also, drivers who are approaching a slip road at a million miles an hour and squeeze into the gap in front of you, slamming their brakes on. All the while there's a huge space behind you they could have eased into and all it would have cost them in their day was an extra 0.25 seconds.
