Well if they outsourced the mail to India they could save a lot of money by delivering all the letters and packages in India at a cheaper rate. Of course, we wouldn't receive any mail any more. But what does the consumer matter these days anyway?

ROYAL MAIL is to begin a fresh round of cost-cutting that unions fear may trigger 40,000 job losses and a huge switch from full-time to part-time work, The Times has learnt.
