        @BBCBreaking isn't a parcel with a flat volume actually a letter?

        @stefanatical @BBCBreaking wasn't royal mail losing money when it was public? Another little profitable privatisation.

        @tnttmusic Last year's profits were at £598m but I had to cut that bit out of the BBC's tweet in order to make my 'joke'.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCNews and my post is delivered at 2.30pm. Perhaps @RoyalMail could employ a few more Posties with their £671m profits?
