Royal Mail is actually three businesses. Post Office counters and

additional fee.

No, you're out of date - the Post Office (what was once PO Counters Ltd,
now just Post Office Ltd) is a standalone business, wholly owned by the
government. It wasn't included in the privatisation of Royal Mail.

Oops. Quite correct. Shuffles off looking at feet
