    Thanks for the expert analysis there, keyboard warrior.

    Bet you'd sort them out, wouldn't you, if you were the boss of the Royal Mail - down there, give them a good kicking (cos you're well hard, you), job done.

    You got a better idea then. Let me see. Yes, we will go on strike and lose even more money then complain and go back on strike because jobs are being lost. :rotfl:

    I'm not entering into a discussion about the rights or wrongs of the strike but I owuld ask what on earth that article is going on about..since when has ebay shipped anything :confused:

    Are they seriously suggesting that we sellers are going to all be given a reasonable alternative to RM and advised to use them instead..oh wait a moment, there isn't an alternative.

    No, seriously - thanks.

    What's the basis of the strike in the first place then, do you know? Just trying to work out your reasoning, is all - you know, the background, the big issues, whether you actually have any idea what you're going on about......

    Remember - the right to an opinion comes with the responsibility to make sense. If all you're doing is spouting fictional nonsense, then you just look like a mug.

    Again.
