Re: Post


I haven't had any post since Thursday which makes me think it's due to the strike ....... I usually get at least 3 letters a day and must admit I do miss the clunk of them
dropping through the letterbox...

More strikes to come too.......

Re: Post


Nope - no post for about a week here too. Thankfully most of our business payments are made by direct bank transfer so no massive hardship there . . . phew!

However, as our online banking is down I probably will get clobbered by the credit card companies for late payments of bills as they have had to go by post . . . I wonder if the Royal Mail will stump up the fees + extra interest for these?????
