Posties: Are you on strike?

[lapsedhibee]

[Removed]

Aye cmon Andy, get out the bookies :grr:

[bod]

if your desperate for your mail, take some id with your address on it to your local delivery office & pick it up

[Lofarl]

While I can't speak for the posties in the toon. I can tell you that in the bathgate/livi area the mail system atm is
Donald ducked due to both the new revision and the bad weather. The snow today is as bad as i have ever saw it. Snows up to
my waist at some areas, no I'm not a midget either.

maybe nobody's sent you anything.

[Pretty Boy]

maybe nobody's sent you anything.

Well nobody has sent me anything either then.

I don't blame the posties i wouldn't fancy hiking the streets in this weather either.

On saying that i've got £180 worth of goalkeeping gloves sitting in a depot somewhere and i wouldn't mind getting my hands on them.

Not desperate, ta, just curious why the postie doesn't seem to be delivering. There's a couple of inches of snow on the ground, and I'm wondering if that's the reason.

Could be true, but bit of a coincidence if all the other (seven) flats in the stair haven't been sent anything either.

Maybe some posties have been listening to the polis and their 'don't go out in the cold unless it's absolutely necessary'? :dunno:

Or could be Russian/Qatari corruption, that'd be a convincing explanation. :agree:

You'd be better getting your hands in them.

I got mail this morning. My Sky TV magazine and a visa bill.

Oh well, if my postie doesn't fancy it, fair enough. I wouldn't want anyone to be doing a job he/she didn't fancy.

I got mail this morning.
Not a Lothian-wide strike then.

Didn't fancy it was probably a bad choice of words. I should have said that for safety reasons it's probably wise that some posties have been told to keep away from work so far this week. Up where i am there has been no reliable bus service until today, getting a car along the street has been nigh on impossible and the snow is up to my knees in places (and i'm 6'3"). Not really conditions for a postie to be out and about is it?

Shirley if they can't easily get to and from their homes they could temporarily sleep in a hole in the road overnight, near the sorting office, get up half an hour before they went to bed, eat a handful of gravel for breakfast, etc etc. :grr:

deffo sounds like more to it then

realistically a postie is not going to do his whole round in this weather, the speed they walk at must be halved with this much snow (depending on situation with pavements in any given area i suppose)

That's luxury! :agree:

I used to dream of sleeping in a hole in the road.

You try telling that to the young people today. :agree:
