I don’t think I have been. My copy of 2000 AD arrived yesterday, which is par for the course. It should arrive on Saturday, but more often than not it’s a MOnday delivery.

Other post seems to be getting through too.

This means:

1 - There has not been enough interest amongst postal workers to make any kind of difference

or

2 - Those who went in despite the pickets are those who are keeping the system running the rest of the time.

I paid a little extra to get something delivered by courier - but more for the delivery day than anything else.

Weren't the numbers only about a third of the missing Royal Mail staff? Plus I doubt the agency staff are as efficient.

The Royal Mail staff unions were doing a legal challenge to stop that. After all, it would be terrible for them if we ever got the idea that they could be used to actually [LIFTED] deliver something.
