"Resourcing issues", "staff absence", "industrial action" - all excuses from @RoyalMail for abysmal post deliveries in . Strangely never the fault of senior management pushing profit-driven model over public service. Odd that… theguardian.com/business/2023/

‘The entire rail network went down this afternoon, causing transport chaos for millions. The cause was the failure of a digital communications system (the Digital Train Radio System).

I've seen comments online from someone claiming to work at that responsibility for DTRS has recently been privatised by the NSW state government under Premier .

Can anyone clarify?

82-year-old resident refuses to leave home despite five-foot drop caused by landslide

He’d repeatedly complained to about a water leak in his garage over 2 years ago, which he eventually fixed with a friend.

However, a burst water main in 2022, he says, coincided with new large cracks appearing on his home.

Here we go before it even happens. clearly creating conditions for privatisation of NHS medicine supply. No more prescription charges but full price instead!

You've been warned!

I see Royal Mail are trying to drop Sat deliveries. I remember when we had 2 deliveries a day, 1st class meant 1st delivery next day, stamps cost nowt by today's standards, the postie wandered around whistling happily, emitting barely any greenhouse gases, depending on diet. It all worked. Until privatisation. They may as well scrap the whole thing.
