Hey Mr Postman, get back to work!
A two-day postal strike has begun despite last-minute talks between the Communication Workers Union and the management of Royal Mail.
Royal Mail said it was disappointed at the move and advised customers not to post mail on strike days.
Julie McMaster from the customers’ watchdog Postwatch said small business would suffer very badly.
“OK, you have electronic e-mails and that sort of thing, but if you are waiting for that cheque, that one cheque can be the breaking of a business,” she said.
This has really annoyed me today. C’mon Royal Mail, sort it.

Absolutely agreed. I’ve got stuff from Amazon piling up in some sorting office (where it’s 50/50 if it’ll be nicked or reach the right address).
I once got an invoice 7 months late.
Bastards.
