He purports to be an ex-marine but I don't know of any ex-service people that are so abusive to another point of view, and I know a lot I am one myself.

God if I got a pound each time someone came up and said "thought you were on strike" no we posties are on strike tomorrow don't people ever listen to the news, mind you I suppose you can't blame them for being confused, as the headlines just say, start of a Postal strike for 48 hours, I explained it was the mail centers and distribution drivers for 24 hours and postal strike start tomorrow for 24 hours and all they said was oh and how long will you be out for
My delivery took over 5hrs today
I took the time(for the 2nd day) to explain to each and every one of my customers why we were striking.
The public are onside.

I was also doing the same mate, but after a while I was getting a bit fed up explaining to everyone, I just wanted to finished the rounds, and go home, as all this is getting to me, it about time the media did there job, and put the public right, instead of filling them with evil untrue stories

......same here! But one fella a comet delivery bloke, said "I thought your mob were on strike" (in an aggressive manner!) I replied that its tomorrow for us and it was the mail centre today, etc....but i got the impression that he didn't believe me and he thought i was a scab!!!!!
TBH I was a bit gutted after.

As i said earlier in my post mate I did,my customers do understand, but it the media I am getting at, they are the ones making it worst for us, turning the public against us, but unfortunately we haven't got all day to be explaining to every tom, dick, and harry, there is just too much to explain, and some folk even get confused with who is on strike and how long we will be out for
uberman,hiya mate..... theyre the pubic,they dont know buddy....we are fighting for their service.... the fact the public are questioning you,when you are going about your daily duties is a good thing.Theyll ask the "strike breakers" wats going on in the future.
Take care mate,stick together,and you take care mate.

Probably the same idiots that shout about us being later and post office closures, idiots!!
Amazing, i got exactly the same. the bloke stood by his gate and applauded me. I thought he was joking until he thanked me for being conciencious.
He wasn't best pleased when i told him he had the wrong day, and i will be withdrawing my labour with pride tomorrow.
I won't expect an xmas tip.

Same here, and once I had explained to everyone that we are on strike tomorrow...............
they all wished us well and 'hope you win the battle'.
I also added that if you see anyone delivering on my Walk tomorrow that they would either be a 'Manager or a Scab!
Not Me, as I will be on the Picket line!'
Same experience as the rest of you but i welcomed the question it starts a conversation! it gave me loads of opportunity
to explain why we are not happy.
The overwhelming majority of folk on my round are supportive
which suggests the biased media and press are totally out of touch with the views
of their public..
don't people ever listen to the news, mind you I suppose you can't blame them for being confused, as the headlines just say, start of a Postal strike for 48 hours, I explained it was the mail centers and distribution drivers for 24 hours and postal strike start tomorrow for 24 hours and all they said was oh and how long will you be out for
