Excert from the UK TV Guide about the show:
\"In 2004 and again in 2005, Dispatches went undercover to investigate the Royal Mail. These reports
exposed serious systemic and individual failures within the organisation...\"

Looks kinda borring to me ;-)

Post Office Undercover
Two reporters go undercover as agency postmen to find out if the Royal Mail has delivered on claims
that it is modernising and improving its service.
In 2004 and again in 2005, Dispatches went undercover to investigate the Royal Mail. These reports
exposed serious systemic and individual failures within the organisation, resulting in an enquiry by
the postal regulator, followed by a fine of almost ten million pounds. Five years on, the Royal Mail
claims it is modernising and improving its service. The reporters find an antiquated system with lax
security, poorly trained agency workers - many of whom are clearly not up to the job - damaged and
defective equipment and allegations of stealing. Out on their rounds, they are bombarded with
complaints from angry members of the public who have experienced damaged mail, delays and poor
service, and behind the scenes some managers and workers express contempt for the customer and their
concerns. Joining just before the busy Christmas period, when an industrial truce has been publicly
announced by both management and the unions, both reporters find that normal service is far from
being resumed. Managers tell the reporters that disputes with unions over working times and the size
of postmen's rounds are causing continued disruptions to the service.
With over four million pounds a year being paid in compensation to customers for lost post and a
recent dip in Royal Mail's delivery performance, Dispatches asks if the organisation is fit for purpose.

Hehe what an uninformed statement to make!
What do you expect?
I expect that if I employ someone to do a fucking job, they do it and are to be trusted!
Is that wrong of me?
I don't know where you get the idea that it was 'all staged' either. Seems you just make random
farts from the recesses of your mind, without ever even considering that you might need to have
evidence for such claims.
