Royal Mail profits may almost have doubled

according to the BBC, but they don't seem to deliver on their core competencies.

I'm waiting for three important documents in the post and it's been a few weeks.

Oh well, profit. That's what counts. Service, who gives a f***.

Even Tesco has got into online video

So, just about to do my weekly armchair shop, and I discover that Tesco has a series of Top Tips Videos (can't help wondering how many marketing peeps it took to come up with that great name).

Video quality: poor, kinda home-video-esque. Voiceover: slightly sarcastic, and a poorly written script which forces some woman to say "Sunday just can't come soon enough!" at the end of the yorkshire puddings video.

But they're good - I might even try poaching eggs just in water instead of in one of the several egg-poaching paraphenalia we have.
