Oh joy of joys, the posties are at it again.

This is really annoying as I need to prepare something to mail out to an address in Central London this week.

Sorry, but I just can't understand why they're striking. Are they being forced up chimneys again?
Incidentally, my postie drives a rather nice M3.

Steel yourself, Nick - this looks to be the start of a protracted period of public sector industrial action

Yes indeed Zulu, with, in the Royal Mail's case, a further march towards private commercial courier firms taking up the opportunity left by a sub-standard service, yet again.  When will the postal unions learn??

[rural irony]It`s in London; "we`re" not too bothered![/rural irony]

Our postal 'service' [sic] has been so bad for the recent few years, I can`t think if it might be possible to know if they were striking or not: long transit-delays, late or non deliveries, closure of sorting office counters, frequent broken-open letters and parcels, items missing and general shabby service.....and that`s without industrial action!

I'm surprised Debs that they don't still use carrier pigeons where you live!

Yep, that's the one Zulu, but not necessarily the content!!   Don't remember that when it was on tv!

Bet the bloody bills still come through though debs.

as a postie myself i can safely say........

no, i have no idea why they're striking either!!

I do my job cos it keeps my bills paid, i do my job well because i take pride in my work, regardless of who my employer is, so its a shame there are a lot of posties who dont see it the way i do
