Since the strike it's taking a hell of a lot longer for us to get mail, and the postman doesn't come till mid afternoon now.

So why do we pay for first class mail theses days   ::)

Do the postmen get paid extra for delivering junk mail  :question

Saw a postie delivering at 7.25 this morning.

They don't get any more for delivering junk but it's the majority of the Post Office's business.

Post is on a go slow - they are (apparently) STILL clearing the backlog from the recent strike!

At work, our post does not arrive until just after 11:00 - I remember a time when it was just after 08:15.  They collect at 16:30 now and moan if things are not ready.  What sort of time schedules are they working to?

I think that the Post Office is a total joke at present.  It is the usual story as far as I can tell - privatise it, employ loads of managers who have never worked on the shop floor, pay them very large salaries and an even bigger bonus and watch the rest of the system fall down.

I feel sorry for the people on the front line - the post people.

I used to get disturbed by the postman (or the lovely postlady formerly of this parish...) - now it's between 3 and 4pm. I'm waiting for a couple of ebay bits, one of which was shipped a week ago...
