    A postal service is vital for a society to function. A couple of things I’ve sent in the past few years: marriage forms to the registry office, returning old drivers’ licenses and passports, sending signed docs to my solicitor when buying a house. Less relevant - birthday cards, thank you cards, xmas cards; I think these things have a “personal touch” value which is lost in an email.

    I think the prepaid business envelopes make sense when you are receiving post but private individuals need to be able to send things back without having bespoke, bulk postage deals with Royal Mail. Have noticed that employment contracts are now done with e-signatures if not in person these days but many legal docs require the same piece of paper to be signed.
