Re: Royal Mail..

Depends who buys it and what they do with it. Sort of how long is a piece of string really.

Depends if selling it opens it to competition or whether it remains a monopoly.

Re: Royal Mail..

Wonder if it would be worth buying shares in it? I know they are making them available to the workers and the public.

Re: Royal Mail..

Now is a prudent time to sell, letter writing has died a death since Email took off, and once online purchasing tapers off, there will be no business left. Imo.
