One nitpick: Royal Mail and Post Office are two separate companies with independent boards.

Though as a nitpick of your nitpick, they weren't truly independent until the relevant provisions of the Postal Services Act 2011 came into effect on 1 April 2012. What we know today as the "Post Office" and "Royal Mail" had a long history before that.

TIL. Thanks! I've only lived in the UK for 6 years so don't know much about the history before that. Appreciate it!
