... The Royal Mail Strikes

I don’t really understand all this Royal Mail strike malarkey. All I know is that it’s a pain in the bum. I bought some books I really needed off Amazon, asked for next day delivery, and didn’t get them for a week. And it was VERY annoying. Obviously Amazon can afford to send deliveries via alternative carriers if need be, so they aren’t too fussed, but other wee businesses and us common folk are a bit screwed really aren’t we? Does this mean that other businesses could potentially start moving away from using the good old queen’s postal service? I think it’s a wee bit sad, I’ll miss seeing her lovely profile, staring squintly to the side at me, when I receive a letter. But to be fair, mrs queen, do you really want your face on letters being delayed by your ‘royal’ service? I don’t think so.


So a national strike looks on the horizon, which I really think only one person can solve.


Bring back postman pat. (in a non specsavers’ ad capacity.) I think that’s the only solution.

Update 13/10: Postman Pat & Jess have been having a tiff over the strikes now.... (HERE)
