For all those who don't know and maybe expecting parcels from the UK or to it a strike has started today in London,Bristol and several other areas there is no idea when it will finish yet. I found this out in work as we get notified by the Post Office as we are an international life insurance company and send out all sorts of documents to clients.

I checked details again today supposedly it is a 24 hour strike but you know what they are like they will probably try to drag it out.
I work in the Office Services side which has the post room,Scanning,reception and telephone room for our branch so I don't actually sell anything or deal with outside clients. You can breathe easily now Shauny and change your pants while you are at it.

when will they realise that the unions don't have any powers anymore, they'll strike get f*ck all then go back to work. a pointless exercise if you ask me.

So you are a bit like a Tele Viper then. Scanning stuff and that?

Admin-Viper? If the guys at Hasbro had all done a bong one day that could have been proper release.
