Christmas is coming soon.
A 2nd Class Stamp costs £0.50
A cheap Christmas Card costs......, Say £0.25
Hmmm?
I forecast an absolutely massive crash in Christmas Card numbers this year.
I reckon 'down by 25% on last year'. What do you think?

going on past experiences of other services being privatised - I can't possibly see how they will get better..
Not a chance, I doubt it will have much effect at all. Plus, for this christmas anyone claiming a benefit can buy a certain amount of stamps (24 or 36, I can't remember which) at 2011 prices.
I guess it's worth pointing out that a 1st class stamp in the UK is one of the cheapest in the EU, plus we have a cheaper 2nd class option that many countries do not.
Just wait until RM is privatised. We heard from a manager last week that the business is now making a nice profit, and will soon be seeking 'outside investment'. That will at some point mean the end of a daily delivery all over the UK.

Fingers crossed they get privatised and that stupid government rule will be abolished allowing some competition.
