Looks like a tiny bit of it will be opening to the public as part of the
new mail museum at Mount Pleasant. See: http://www.ianvisits.co.uk/blog/2013...to-the-public/ Feel free to start speculation about extensions and other uses.... |

It's part of privatisation - unwittingly to show how a decent nationalised industry should be run. E. |

I've got a plan - let's privatise it and give instant million pound gains to Osborne's hedge fund mates. More like all the small investors who bought shares who made a few quid. And why not? Anyway , people forget BT used to be part of the Post Office and that hasn't done too badly as a private company. If the phone system was still part of the GPO we'd all still be using 56K modems for internet access. And you'd probably have to rent them! -- Spud --- news://freenews.netfront.net/ - complaints: --- |

And you'd have to wait a year for the second phone line for the modem. |
