The biggest obstacle is not the USO, it's how it is implemented by the management.

@ Knoydarts.

Can you please post in English, instead of some made up slang.

Not all of us were brought up in Staines upon Thames. To reference your obvious hero, Ali G.

@ Brendyboy @ Oli G

Downstream access?

Over 40,000 polling cards arrived into "my office" late yesterday. All were DSA. The pittance that we (RM) are paid is shocking. There are about 28,000 residential dp's in "my office", so about 1.4 per address. Posties get paid 6p per item. Where on earth do RM make their money from this bulk posting? If they are struggling at 90p per item, the loss must be huge.

Is it not possible to undercut Whistl, so that the proceeds from bulk mailings fall straight into RM's lap?

If Whistl can make a profit, picking up and processing these items, how come RM can't?

And whilst these items are walk sorted, they are not sequenced!

Shocking!!!!

@ Lindon.

Are they lower than mid April this year?

@ JBT

I assume OFCOM would like there to be no failures, as opposed to the constant ones in recent years. Hence, QoS would not be met.

If you read the proposal submitted by RM it clearly states that there would be no need to go to the government for approval. I have no idea why OFCOM have said after the GE.

It is well thought out. A six day service is provided at a uniform price. The vacancies will be filled through the reduction in routes, and not necessarily through recruitment. Meaning routes get bigger, thereby leading to as much failure in the USO as before. Unless of course, there is headroom to accomodate this growth in route size. I will remind you that RM have said that there will be between 7 & 9 thousand routes lost, with up to 1,000 VR packages.

Not forgetting, that everyone on delivery will have every other Saturday off. And, it protects my job, and all the other current employees in delivery. If i'm doing my time now and clearing, give me more, and i will fail.

The reason that OFCOM cannot give a decision is that the recent USO reform suggestion, is geared up for failure. Whilst it's a well thought out proposal, there will be as many daily failures in the future, as there is now.

The decimation of the service no longer bothers me, because it protects my job. The forward thinking is that the routes you lose, loses the need for recruitment. The current vacancies will be swallowed up, taking those vacancies off the balance of hours.

It does not mean that we will fail less, as duties will get bigger. Just that there will be less duties to cover on overtime.

Regardless of OFCOM's stance on this, and i believe it is their say, and has no government intervention, whatever the outcome, RM will be fined again next year. But, they will have made a huge saving on the loss of routes/overtime.

@ RGPostie

"""New start times next week and an overtime ban"""

An overtime ban? Please explain.

@ hurtsparrow.

In one breath IDS are saying accept the offer, and in the next (according to The Guardian) they are denouncing the offer.

Am i missing something here?

I wonder if IDS now think that 360p is too low.

I cannot wait to see the market reaction on Tuesday:

1 - To the results

2 - To The Guardian piece

@ Haffyplan. @ Jamtart.

I won't filter anyone. Everyone is entitled to an opinion. Not everyone will agree with these opinions. But it's the relentless posting of the same old thing. To keep informing everyone here, who is invested, about the lack of progress, just insults everyone. There is no need for it.

@ RHT99.

I answered your questions a month ago, as best i could without being inside. You're getting boring now. We get it. ACP is no further forward than they were, post ML approval.

Why you decide to keep on infesting this board with your boring repertoire, is beyond me. You ain't saving anyone. We want to be here, rightly or wrongly. We'll make our investment decisions, not you.

Now, please go and bore another BB. There are hundreds of companies listed on AIM who, by your postings here, need "more" saving than ACP.

And take that other idiot, Amtech (who has made plenty here), with you.

And if you think that Matt Bull has committed a crime, misleading the market, which is a very serious accusation, then report it to the relevant authorities.

@ LittleDickyBird.

Because somebody is getting paid for doing their job, does it make their opinion wrong? Only if you believe that.

Can you answer how RM are losing 1 million a day, which is the same figure as about this time 2022? The same 1 million a day was quoted by another CEO about 20 years ago. What is so magical about this 1 million pounds a day losses?

And as for """The basic first 3 year business plan of a new company is.""". I assume then that you think IDS will be profit making in 12 months time?

@ Talk2Much.

1 - The 300 million comes from the culling of 7-9 thousand routes, nationally. Whether the new proposal works or not, is open to debate. After the event. I guarantee you though, that failures will be baked into this figure.

2 - RFID? That's fine if you're are working weith packets. Then any scan will negate non delivery failure. An example would be if 100 items could not be covered for any given reason. All you have to do is scan all items as inaccessible. No delivery attempt, but no failure either on RFID items.

Spot checks? Don't make me laugh. Correct reporting? Even funnier. What about when there are no managers in the office when the majority of staff return? Do they report failures before the end of the day?

3 - IA. A bone of contention for many. But i agree. Solely for the fact that RM let strike action take place over crimbo 2022. I've never agreed with IA in the mass walk out thing. Now, if there was to be no overtime policy by the CWU, i'm all ears. It's the only thing that would actually work, IMO. And i didn't actually lose any money. But i cannot speak for the other 90,000 strikers.

4 - I have no idea either why OFCOM deem the USO in it's current format is profitable. But they do, and i'm certain that they have access to more facts and figures than you and i. Maybe they have access to the outdoor actuals, SISO, management time keeping and many other things. Who knows?

I will say this about the USO reform suggested by RM. It's very well thought out. Duties, or parts of, will still fail, but only on every other day. Any slack will easily be covered on overtime as there won't be enough to go around, so people will be desperate. You will lose 16% of the office budget for staffing. All good for shareholders.

I have no idea why OFCOM have put this on the back burner for now. I honestly thought it was a done deal.

@ HoundDog.

When the service point system (SPS) computerised booking in system was installed in my office about 6 years ago, there were up to 300 items per day being booked in and stored. Fast forward to about 3 years ago, with the update on inflight items. Request a day, a post office or a neighbour on any given day, and the " P739, sorry you were out items" had dropped to about 150. Since the more recent "if you are out we'll attempt redelivery the following day" initiative, P739 items have dropped to about 30.

I'm not sure how lucrative these lockers are. Yes, they can or should be delivered, where you want, when you want. But for 30 items a day, in my office? And, surely these would not include special deliveries. Which make up most of those 30. What about age verification? Or is that a done thing now?

I will add that there are over 25,000 residential delivery points in my area. Not my figure, but the chap who deals with the planning etc.

@ TheMoneyShark. """"If you think that OFCOM make their decisions ‘on managers’ you’re brain damaged. And bitter. Lol.""""

My Post:

""""OFCOM currently deem that the USO can be made profitable. How hard is it for you to understand that? If you think that that is wrong and are blaming the lazy, low iQ, workshy posties, then surely management should be held to account. They are not doing their jobs.""""

Please get it right before you make yourself look even more foolish.

19p pretend profit plus 26p in divis. 45p per share pretend profit in 3 years. Not bad considering you were buying at 5 quid a share and the price is 30% DOWN in that time. I've made five figures in RM, mate. And i'm the one that is brain damaged? I'd hate to be clued up like you. LOL.

@ TheMoneyShark. This is your post.

"""I would suggest that OFCOM think that the posties are a bunch of lard a*se (can you work out what this word is with one letter missing, I have faith in you) lazy, low IQ, wasters and they’re petrified of sending them back out on strike."""

So OFCOM are deciding that the USO ""is profitable" and their basis is shown above.

If you are actually suggesting that OFCOM make decisions on whether or not there may be IA, shows how desperate you are. What world do you actually live in?

OFCOM currently deem that the USO can be made profitable. How hard is it for you to understand that? If you think that that is wrong and are blaming the lazy, low iQ, workshy posties, then surely management should be held to account. They are not doing their jobs.

@ Knoydarts.

You have a habit of changing the thread, instead of clicking reply.

Anyway. Do you realise why OFCOM have not changed the USO? They think it is profitable in it's current format. That may change as and when they deem fit. But not because some posters on this board think it should be changed

@ TheMoneyShark.

It is an interesting article. It's someone's opinion. I understand that yours is the only one that matters, because you are GOD. Even though you are under water still. You've already stated that whatever happens has no bearing on the price or your fantastic investment strategy, so why bother responding? It just shows how desperate you actually are.

Why bother engaging with the low life here?

No friends? No family? Nothing?

@ TheMoneyShark

I am loathe to respond to you, but in this case i feel the need to. I've copied your insightful and intellectual post from 18.44.

""""I would suggest that OFCOM think that the posties are a bunch of lard a*se (can you work out what this word is with one letter missing, I have faith in you) lazy, low IQ, wasters and they’re petrified of sending them back out on strike.""""

Would you agree then, that the management, in OFCOM's eyes, are NOT doing there job?

I mean, who runs the company? Us lazy, workshy, low IQ wasters? I've left out the brain damaged bit.

Who runs the company?????
