    I have real difficulty sympathising with postal workers over this. I appreciate they are having a hard time, but do they actually realise how much stress and upset their strikes case the nation? Especially if they are planning it over Christmas!


    Thats the whole point. It is suppose to make Royal Mail and the public realise how much we rely on them and why we should support them because we would be lost without them.
    Sadly its no longer the case and the UK relainance on Royal Mail is slowly going down the pan and a national strike would pull the chain so to speak.

    The strike can only result in a quicker decline of the PO. I've never looked at the little franchises for DHL etc in WH Smith, Staples and so on. but I will do now if ParcelFarce and PO standard parcels konks out.
