Default postal strike again??

Is there a postal strike again today???

Waiting for a inlet for my new engine is really pissing me off when ive paid
extra money for it to be delivered last week

guess the shop didnt take into account the postal strike


all for going for more money 'by force' as they are.. but i want my parcel LOL

My mail has arrived as normal. Our service in Blackpool is spot bollock on IMO. In fact, of all the post ive sent in 8 years, ive only ever had TWO parcels turn up late.

The International service is WAY WAY too cheap though IMO and thats where they should instantly look to increase revenue as far as i, as a regular daily user, can see.

Dojj, unless you inform him, that they no longer live there, unless he's 100% sure he will still deliver it...

No... No strike today, we've been told it's gonna be friday and the following monday.

Its not the postmen on strike, its the post offices.

The main one in Blackpool is shut today - some silly ppl think its a good idea to move our main post office into the basement of WH Smiths

we are told to deliver all mail, even if we know they have moved away unless there is a redirection,most of us will ignore this and return to sender if you tell us,some wont because they like to stick to the rules,also if you dont have a reqular postman there is a good chance you will keep getting mail for people who have lived there before,
best thing to do is write on it gone away and repost it
