BFPO European Disbandment

Post by Effoh »

Gents,

Armed Forces have been advised that the BFPO facilities in mainland Europe will be shut from September 2010. Personnel, and their families, deployed in Europe currently enjoy the same postal rates as the UK. Withdrawal of this long established tradition will further erode personnel's ability to communicate with their families in the UK and safe receipt of parcels etc through a secure network.

There is a petition on the No.10 web site asking the PM to reconsider here.

Rgds,

Colin

Gents,

Thank you - I....well, you know...anything here is superfluous.

Let's hope that HMG wakes up and realises what our lads and lassies give them every day.
