Petitioning Royal Mail!

[Orcs]

Sod the petition - Though I have signed it.

We need to form a para-military wing to fight RM. 

We can start by posting things that are within the stupid rules but can cause more damage than paint. We will start with  1 litre glass bottles of  water wrapped in brown paper. When its miss-handled as its usually is by our Dear RM - (No offence Albie).  It will break and cause lots of wet post.

If they fail to respond and realise how illogocal there rules are we will progress to sticky bombs ( jars of jam). After that its chemical warfare with bottles of Urine and flimsy packs of Horse dung  (Techno will supply this )  From his horses I might add. (Neither Urine or Dung is included in the prohibited list.)

We can go on to form a "Political wing"  to deal with the media  and explain how much post is being damaged by the allowed goods and how little damage paint does.

I propose that we use Hugh for this, as a man of the cloth he should be seen as a resonable and of  Impeccable character  (Hopefully Mrs Hugh won't say anything)

All we need now is a suitable name  - suggestions please gents

.......Well, We've got tons and tons of the stuff......But I'm pretty sure that the dear (PAH !) PO would class that in the prohibited list under, Waste, Dirt, Filth or Refuse.

OK Urine is used in Tanning and what does the local Garden centre charge for manure?

I have heard from a manufacturer fairly recently that the PO had complained about the amount of metal sent in a package....Though they were alright about it in the end.

just read Leon's article in this months Miniature Wargames. I have already signed the petition as living in Northern Ireland it is difficult to find anywhere that stocks a good supply of figures let alone Paints. One thing has struck me: 'Parcel Post' isn't that the Royal Mail 'courier' service for want of a better word? If they allow paints to be transported is this all a dastardly plot to force suppliers to use their high priced service? Then again. what happens if paint is bought from abroad and the supplier uses their local postal service which has no such limitations regarding the quantity of paint. Isn't Royal Mail obliged to deliver such a parcel s under international reciprocal agreements? Can you imagine the furore if say the US postal service discovered that parcels where being interfered with?

Good to hear the magazine has arrived, ours should be dropping through the letterbox as well soon then!

I'm not sure on that one, if they can transport paints that have been sent externally, then why can't they do ours?  My contact at Royal Mail is on holiday at the moment, but I'll raise that point when he gets back in the New Year.

Not sure if this has been mentioned, but this ban affects cosmetics suppliers as well, as things like nail polish fall into the "4 bottles or less" group. No idea who/where you would pitch the petition idea to though...

There must be loads of UK fashion bloggers that will be most upset by this.
