Claims on PO staff are unfair

May I reply to the exceptionally inaccurate letter, 'Greed of post staff will be end of service', June 12.

I find it highly annoying that "Name and address supplied" is so keen to have a go at postmen and women when her figures are complete fiction. The basic gross pay of a delivery postman is £16,432.

Surely we are all entitled to own our own homes and cars? As far as I'm aware this isn't a privilege reserved for postal staff.

Yes, the pension scheme is a reasonably good one, but like everyone else, we have to contribute into it.

I have checked via the internet and found according to Government statistics that the expected gross for a window cleaner is £44,872. And I quote from the Government site "It is expected that it is easily possible to clear £150 - £180 per day cleaning windows".

If being a post person really is such a fantastic job, why don't you apply?
