I actually feel pangs of what could possibly be guilt when we post something by Illustrious Frisby. Compared to most of the hate-filled bilge seeping through the HYS columns, she’s actually a fairly pleasant character. She’s also grade-A bonkers, which I think makes me like her even more. Anyway, guilt is for people with a conscience, so fuck that. When asked what she thought about the government plans to sell off the sickly Royal Mail, she makes sure she covers all her bases. She worked there. So did her son (not at the same time). I think she’s allowed an opinion. But sometimes, one opinion isn’t enough.
I don’t know if it is a good idea because it’s a bit over-my-head this, but I do know that the postmen work very hard. I worked in a sorting office once, over 5-6 Christmases, before I retired and my son worked there too. Not at the same time. I cannot see beyond what the Government are planning but it is very sad that the Royal Mail are not making enough money; sometimes they are darn sight more reliable than computers – if the “network’s down” for instance.

Two days later, after forgetting where she put her handbag and taking the wrong dog home from the vets, she discovers an interesting debate on HYS. What’s this? They’re going to privatise the Royal mail?
No, I think it’s an awful idea. I’m very against it. And this Government is supposed to be listening to the people. What about when there is nothing left to privatise?

Don’t worry love, in a couple of days you’ll have forgotten you even worked there. Is that dog still trying to get out the back door? Why doesn’t he come when you call his name?
