Is the Royal Mail worth saving?
The main postal union expects a YES vote for strike action today. The Royal Mail says its immensely worried about losing business; the union is defending its members terms and conditions.
But what kind of service do you get? Can you set your watch by your local postie, or is your mail constantly delayed or even lost?
Graeme emailed to say: "I can send a card quicker to Canada , than 1st class to a friend that lives round the corner from me!"
But Dennis, who runs a business in Aberdeenshire, texted to say he thinks the postal service in Peterhead is first class. "If all my other services were this good, I'd have less to worry about!," he wrote.
Labour has delayed its plans for part-privatisation, but the Tories say they'll implement those plans if they get into power. Would Britain be worse off without the Royal Mail as we know it today?
