CLASS SYSTEM MAKES NO SENSE

I cannot understand why there should be first and second class letters, and how the second class ones will only be delivered three days a week.

Surely the cost of separation and storing the second class letters will exceed that of having a single class of letter?

Can anyone explain to me the purpose of a two tier letter system and the continued increase in the cost of stamps when all this results in less letters and less revenue for Royal Mail?

We get seven days a week delivery of parcels at all times of the day from private courier companies, so why the reduction in Royal Mail services?
