COME ALONG AND FILL THE HILL.

£1.9 billion; thats 6% +/- our total budget at the moment...and that would be extra.

Name me an actual FACT that they have used, if you disagree
I bet Cameron was thinking..."I wish I'd brought my union flag. Why does Salmond always outthink me?"
Pretty , not. The Brit "loyalists" of whom Brits everywhere should be ashamed. The YES campaign by comparison want to press their case with logic, not hatred.
Et cette affaire est reproduit dans d'autres régions de l'UE. Nous ne sommes pas seuls. Vive une Ecosse libre.
Useful answers for doubters. This time the truth, not from Project Fear
Just like the bedroom tax, Scots have opposed the privatisation of the Post Office, but of course no one gives a toss what we think, when there is money to be made for the Friends of the Tories and their lap dogs.
You should... no MUST...read the Rev Stu's take on this nonsense. Labour's policy is its usual half thought out  hair brained, moronic  fail.
This surge in English national awareness is a good thing. Clearly the devolution settlement was unfair from the point of view of "West Lothian". The English should  remember, though, that  THEY call the tune on anything that is not devolved, and until 1999, for nearly 300 years, on everything! However, when national identity gets out of the bag, it's hard to put it back, and this is a game changer.

WHEN WILL WE GET FIRST CLASS POST FROM THIS THIRD RATE ORGANIZATION?


In November Royal Mail introduced a controversial new delivery system called the Way Forward at its Dundee East depot. The idea is that workers are teamed up to deliver letters and parcels from vans rather than individual rounds.

Unfortunately, and I really mean unfortunately, the system has not worked and workers have been unable to complete their deliveries on time: they have been returning with undelivered mail which has piled up in the sorting office.

Although measures were taken to draft in managers from other depots for sorting duties, dispatching mail to other depots for sorting and Sunday deliveries, they have not brought a solution. Additionally the Christmas rush and the inevitable intake of temporary staff requiring management time did not help.

I don’t know anyone who has not had some expected items of mail delivered late or indeed completely missing. In some cases it is Christmas cards, which whist mildly irritating is not life and death. In other cases, credit card statements have gone missing causing people a considerable amount of difficulty, embarrassment and possibly money!

Small packages too are missing. I am awaiting one with goods to the value of £50 which the sender emailed me to say was posted 2 weeks ago.

Businesses have suffered with invoices and cheques going missing. Even the local MP’s letter of complaint to the postmaster went missing and he was forced to make a further complaint and request for an appointment by email.

In the middle of January the post is still shambolic.

Now as the nearest I’ve ever been to being a postman, is to redeliver post wrongly put through my door, I do not consider myself an expert in these matters. However, it seems to this untrained mind that, if you have one very busy period in the year, and that busy period takes place in a period of relatively inclement weather, and that your business is largely dependent on transport and outdoor work, it might be a good idea to introduce new systems as far away from that period as is possible.

Just a thought.

And they want someone to buy this heap of garbage?
