Cate in NZ Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 I got post today as well, no idea what time it arrived as I was at work but it's usually around 10am. I actually recieved a phone bill, an unsolicited "would you like a loan" letter, and an invitation to Boots' forthcoming Christmas shopping evening. What a waste of trees . They all got shredded pronto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 That sounds pretty simlar to my post today Kate! I just felt sorry for the post lady - met her struggling up the hill with a double load. She actually admited her trolley was full of junk mail that no one would want Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gallina Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 We didn't get any post on Wednesday, and today's Oxford Mail says that deliveries for Oxford won't resume until Friday. That means our city has had nine whole days without a delivery. That is enough to kill a small business, and serious damage a large one.

One Man Banned Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 Our post was resumed yesterday and most of it was junk mail Today brought lots more goodies Our posty is a great chap, lives in our street and knows that we're out all day (he see's Joe when he gets his prescriptions ) so he signs for things and leaves them in the porch for us which no-one can see is there - such a great help as it's hard to know if I'll ever be in on time to collect from the sorting office. Yesterday I saw a postie in Cheltenham with the bags all over the bike (panniers sp?) bulging with mail - bet his legs hurt after pedalling that round yesterday!

Cate in NZ Posted October 11, 2007 Share Posted October 11, 2007 We've now go wild cat strikes in the area in which I work, I'm getting mail at home but only internal post at work. That's a huge problem for our patients who rely on getting their repeat prescriptions posted to them or those who have had treatments or investigations in hospitals outside the range of our internal system. I do support the postal workers, but making innocent, uninvolved businesses and individuals suffer is surely going to ultimately work against them . People will find a way around, using fax, email or alternative delivery companies and may well choose to stick with the alternative instead of returning to the post.
