I see that they are thinking of raising prices yet again to deliver snail mail, would it make sense to cancel the "Post" altogether & offer all householders a small fax machine for a reasonable price then anyone who does not posess a computer ( yes there are still people who are without) could still write letters & fax them to whoever & cut out not only expensive stamps but the outdated delivery service.

Oh great!
So, when (as part of my work) I've got 500 completed 4-page questionnaires to send back to the office, instead of simply putting them into a pre-paid Special Delivery envelope and dropping it off at any Post Office (as I do now), all I've got to do is to fax (or scan and then email) 2000 individual sheets of paper. That will make things so much simpler for me, won't it???

SirOracle:
I use carriers such as Collect Plus quite a lot.
However they wouldn't be as easy to use for some of the work I do. For example, I could be stood in the middle of a field from 7am to 7pm (with a few breaks of course) interviewing people on part of a National Cycle Route that crosses. The following day I could then be stood in the middle of another field for the same hours but with a requirement to get the first day's completed forms into the office by noon on the following day. It's usually easy enough to find a village Post Office during my break but I might find difficulty in getting a carrier to pick up my package from the middle of a field!

Considering that we have already had eye-wateringly large price increases recently, I think its a ruddy liberty to be thinking of more.
But all this was on the cards when the previous Tory Government hived it off. Even a certain Tory lady stopped short of that. It will all end in tears, mark my words, like most privatisations.
