Companies are still sending cheques through the post??

A lot of people still do. I pay a lot of my bills still by cheque

Round my way (which has been on strike) I've been watching a plain white van in use to collect from the post-boxes.

More post strikes ahead of ballot

"Members of the CWU will begin voting on Wednesday on whether to support a national strike. Earlier this week, the union claimed that "mountains of undelivered mail" were lying in delivery offices around the UK"

TBH, as a 'hobby' seller I'm going to set my Amazon account into 'holiday' status, it's not worth the aggro of A-Z claims when it's clear loads of stuff is going astray; 30% delivery failure on stuff I've ordered in the last 10 days.

The whole of the GB needs a shake up imo, its always the workers that suffer and work for slave labour wages,

Where do you think the money to pay the wages comes from ?

Nope - from the poor sods that pay for to goods or service. Meaning that they want increased wages to pay for them, which means that the prices go up to fund the wages, which means that people need higher wages to pay for the good or service....

We have had this problem on the Wirral for about 4 weeks now. We are now getting 3 or 4 deliveries a day by men in white vans and not in uniforms, one the other day was around 4pm, just to clear the backlog.
