Postal strikes starting to cause real problems now...

[PeterUK]

I live in West London, which is the worst hit area

Me too

I've not received anything since last Tuesday but I did have the pleasure of taking a package from HK today - the driver said there's only 4 people working at the West Ealing depot and wouldn't hold his breath for the rest of them to start work anytime soon

I'm waiting for Fudoh, Versus and Dr Lamb.

In my neck of the woods its a unofficial strike - as in not supported by the union.

Is this the case everywhere ??

Almost everywhere, yes. However, the Union have made it abundantly clear that, while they officially don't condone it (to do so would make the entire funds of the Union forfeit under current law), they are definitely behind it at an unofficial level.

I'm waiting for Smackdown 5: Here Comes The Pain, Finding Nemo (DVD) and Terminator 3 (DVD).

About 30 drivers in Portsmouth were confirmed to have walked out on Thursday, although it is not yet clear whether this will have any impact on services.

Oh great ft:

I need to buy some stuff from a shop in London to be posted to where I live (Portsmouth), any bets on how long it will take?
