Re: the edit of 24 Mar.
Apart from the problem of the missing article, we need an explanation of the edit in general. Was it then Capt. Vimes who said it? They're the only Guard Captains we know, in this generation. Why not say who he was? --Old Dickens 22:57, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

A definite comparison can be drawn between AM's Royal Mail and the UK's I think. In recent years we have seen massive increases in stamp prices, a removal of the 2nd delivery service, as well as an increase in the time it actually takes to deliver the mail. Speaking as a retired postman's son I can honestly say that Groat and Stanley would have fit right into any major sorting office in the 70s and 80s without making a ripple. After all, anyone who actually wants to get up at 4am rain or shine and risk various appendages to dogs, cats, frostbite and sunburn is going to be a little strange. --Megahurts 11:03, 18 March 2010 (UTC)
