The Cost of sending a letter
How much does it cost to send an international letter these days???Couple of quid at most I hear you all reply, so why did the evil witch's letter cost us more than £1000.00 to have it personally delivered to Bruxelles???

Do you know, in the last thirty odd years or so technology has moved along at a very rapid pace. Thirty odd years ago, there were such things as 'fax' machines which enabled letters to be scanned and transmitted almost instantly, then technology moved again and developed computers capable of talking to one another electronically via email instantly.
Given such technology transmits data at a fraction of the cost that these scumbags have cost us, why didn't she employ one or other of these technologies???

If you want to discuss the Trade unions and that evil witch Thatcher (phth, phth, phth), then start your own thread, don't try and hi-jack this one!!!

Re: The Cost of sending a letter
We find it hard to find a post office these days, they are in the Pharmacy. I think it is about $1.00 to post a letter. We used to have red boxes on the streets where you could put your letters and they would be picked up by the postal worker, but I haven't seen one of those red boxes for a very long time...nor have I seen a Phone Booth.|
