Arthur, when in doubt, use facts.
1) Royal Mail do not want to cancel Saturday deliveries, they are strongly against it - it was PostComm, the regulator who mooted it (and have since dropped it) Telegraph
"A spokesman said: "Royal Mail is dismayed that Postcomm is considering adverse changes including cutting deliveries on a Saturday and reducing our first class quality of service targets.""
2) Whilst I agree it is wrong for so many post offices to close, you can't really blame them for the lifts in WH Smith, can you?
