Tempted as a short-term carpetbagger type investment, its a winner......longer term & you'll probably lose your shirt....

Exactly the same thoughts. But long term, I don't think it'll be as gloomy as you make out. I've heard figures of 6-8% dividends being banded about. I could imagine someone like Deutsche post slowing building a stake before a buy out.
It was a worth a punt if you had the cash to spare but I wouldn't invest my life savings in it. I doubt any private investor will receive even the minimum £750 allocation.
It's also the end of the post office service in Britain as we used to know it.

I know someone who was in exactly the same position as you. When he turned 60 he started receiving a small pension from Royal Mail. This pension liability has since been transferred to the government but *should* be paid in future years exactly as before. This assumes the government doesn't try to wriggle out of its pension commitment.
Only received notification of mine this afternoon so couldn't have sold them before then even if I'd wanted to. Not that I was holding my breath or anything.
