Postal strike ? wheres this happening ?
Every thing seems fine here in Fife (Kirkcaldy) Scotland ?????

There is an unofficial strike in one office in Belfast resulting in much of Belfast having no mail delivered and no mail getting out of Northern Ireland. Special delivery service has been cancelled. This has been going on for over two weeks now because of a dispute over a disciplinary matter

Thats what I was wondering, what would happen if you didn't pay on time?

I am getting really peeved off with it. I sold a load of stuff on Ebay and have been unable to get it to my buyers cos of it!! I keep sending my buyers emails with the BBC link but I think I'm going to end up with some negative feedback! Not happy at all!!
Is it ever going to end??!!

The only option at the moment is a quick trip to Dundalk!
