    Agreed. 33% higher at the start of trading.

    I'd fix it by saying it will be nationalised when we return to power.

    I'd like to think so, along with the rail network & utility companies.

    Sadly I think there is more chance of Barnsley return to the Premiership that it happening.

    Yes - because it makes perfect sense for a government to own a parcel delivery service.

    All over the world Parcel delivery services are showing the strain of being in private hands. The travesty of moving this one into private ownership will be the undoing of this government.

    Still, some will always be fooled.

    Not really worth it ,you'd only make 276 quid

    Really pleased for the employees of the royal mail who can now look forward to a prosperous future.

    I thought we had already established that in order to make thsi "fortune" they needed to pay in £250 a month which many will be ill able to afford. Plus tmay will now not serve long enoigh to get this amazing reward.

    Privatisation. The biggest scam in history. FACT.

    No we've established that from the profit that they will make free and buy one get one free deals they will fund the sharesave scheme. Subsequent schemes that run will then be funded from the profits of the original sharesave plan

    Kuwati and Singapore wealth funds

    Other institutions, and UK individuals who have bought what they already owned.

    I'm in for some £750 quids worth, easy money. You'd be daft not to if you'd had that money to spare.

    And out of 150,000 Royal Mail employees, just 576 refused the offer. And what's this about principles?
