RIP OFF BRITAIN

Posted by Thomas Buglass on 15/12/2025, 3:08 pm

We keep on saying we live in RIP off Britain, and by god that’s true. We send Christmas cards and Birthday cards to a couple of places in Europe and our Postal service charge £3.20 - £3.80 per card. We have received 2 cards from Switzerland today and their charge 1.90 Swiss Francs per card which is £1.78 British Pound. RIP off Britain is not the word for it.

Our Postal Service could follow what Denmark is doing Thomas.

Denmark scraps letters and its iconic red postboxes
Danish posties say ‘farvel’ to 400 years of tradition but can Royal Mail weather the storm?

Unfortunately our Royal Mail is owned by a Czech millionaire. I really don’t know why it still uses the name “Royal” another once British government owned company was sold off in 2013 and then re sold to the Czech more recently. Successive governments have sold off most of the UK.
