Reply to: The Royal Mail is actually starting to effect my business...

I'm marrying an Irish bird and emigrating.

Not back there I hope, their country's even more ****ed than ours

Nope, only joking about the emigrating...

Modelling, of the mathematical sort. Plan A all the way.

However some of my clients still prefer to send/receive documents by post or rather they would just prefer a physical copy.

If you charge so much for your talent, then why won't you use proper couriers like DHL?

[SueEllen]

Ours aren't too bad.

The royal mail and the posties where I used to live did make me feel suspicious though.
Every time a parcel (e.g. from amazon) arrived it would have a cunning little rip down the side of the box, large enough to see if there were any iPods or expensive goodies inside. To their disappointment we are fairly boring online shoppers and only really order books, so nothing was ever lost.

Amazon are wise on that. They regularly use couriers for electrical stuff or other expensive goodies.

They are obviously fed up of RM leaving their parcels in plain view of everyone on people's doorsteps.

I remember years ago having to ask for 3 lots of stuff twice. Someone thieving postie got my Toy Story Box set

We've quietly taken over CUK just like we took over your government and ****ed everything up

Sounds interesting. Got a website? (PM if you prefer to keep your CUK persona anonymous)

Not quite. Your business can effect a change, but your business is being affected by a change.

Next thing I know you'll be telling me turnips are not are yellow..

[scooterscot]

What's your business Scooter? Plan B or main focus?

We've had no mail since last Friday, nadda not even the spam has made it through.

We know we have mail sent to us from the beginning of last week... it's frustrating.

Our post has surprisingly been fine so far. The van struggled onto the estate until yesterday, I think he dumped it further away and walked today.

Do posties get paid hourly though? If they don't work do they still get paid? Same goes for binmen actually... they haven't been but to be honest I really don't blame them because if a bin-lorry gets stuck on a little residential street, they're a bit screwed.

[CheeseSlice]

They are a bunch of thieving postmen who can’t even read numbers and street names, Sometimes they even get the wrong city. If the Paddy Party got to power I would execute 100 of them as an example. (I bet they already do that in China)

No it's effect.

The snow is affecting the delivery of mail.

My business is being effected by this change.

Back school you
