Seems like everyone's on strike these days.

In the 70's, the Soviet Union was aiding UK strikes, it makes me wonder if some schenanegans are afoot once more!

With Royal Mail, my experience is of a very expensive, and very poor service. It may of course just be a local issue, but, they treat the customers down here with utter contempt.

My local postie doesn't bother getting out his van to deliver the mail (I live in a rural area, so, they have to drive to me). I have an external post box on the house, it was fitted in the 1920's I think. About the right height to put the mail in if you're on a horse. He's in a van.

So far, he's demolished several plant pots, ripped the lid off the post box, knocked his mirror off on my porch corner... so, he favours delivering my mail to my neighbour (A mile away).

The sorting office staff are arrogant and entitled (Again, locally). Rude to say the least - not just to me, I've had to intervene with the way they engage with older customers at the counter.

They regularly lose packages, their compensation scheme needs a DNA sample to apply for...

So, no sympathy with their strike.

NHS staff however - they're up against it. Although the issues here are far more complex than Royal Fail.
