British Motorcycles and Royal Mail are riding together now. Royal Mail selects a theme every year to launch a special Stamp Calendar and this year the theme is British Motorcycles. For most of the 20th century Britain was a world leader in motorcycle development and manufacture. Royal Mails celebration of the UK motorcycle industry is illustrated with a wide range of manufacturers, and the machine on each stamp represents a major leap forward in design at the time.

Royal Mail introduced telegraph services in 1870 and telephone services in 1912. It took over nearly all of the UK's municipal telephone companies (the sole exception being Kingston Communications in Hull) and was repsonsible for the resultant telephone network until British Telecommunications was demerged by the British Telecommunications Act 1981. BT was later privatised.

Neither the phantom share plan nor plugging the pensions deficit will save Royal Mail from privatisation. They are meant to help drive through changes that would completely restructure the company. The logical end-point of this process, as Royal Mail downsizes and TNT and UK Mail expand, is privatisation. Why should one company be public when it is no longer any different from the private company? Why should employees be allowed to hold "phantom" shares in 20 per cent of Royal Mail, but the British public not get the chance to share in this "iconic" company?
