By all means use your 'Reserves' as efficiently as possible, but it is soldiering on the cheap, and I wonder how many will sign up to it? The regulars weren't exactly treated well in the last decade alone :evil:

This sounds like one of those rebranding exercises for the Royal Mail/Consignia :lol:

Why waste money on a rebranding?

Exactly. Especially with austerity. Save the money for something else.
