	According to today's Sunday Express, there are moves within the government to save money by abolishing the BFPO (British Forces Post Office). This service has been around for a long, long time and provides an essential means by which our armed services can receive mail, in theatres around the world. The bluey is a lifeline to many of our troops, and would presumably disappear, together with the concession for reduced postage costs for families of those serving in our overseas garrisons. http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/SaveBFPO/ Please, if you value our brave servicemen, sign up on this petition.
