this is the latest new from bbc and it is another report that rm says there will be no post till thursday.

I was wondering if this means that we will just be prepping frames all day Wednesday???

Don't worry about ten hour delivery it will give you practice for next summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! or better still cut off and watch your managers running round your delivery in trainers and desighner jeans. Ha HA

No , more like the middle class graduates at the BBC have got it wrong, surprise, surprise.

Royal Mail will want a public presence, ie, us pounding the streets, as soon as.

Maybe with the 2nd strike not ending till 03.00am and there being no night staff in, there won't be much mail reaqdy for delivery wednesday morning.

fingers crossed

What about the mountain of mail left unsorted, that left behind in frames & bought back where folk didn't have time to complete today, or is that just in my office?

Loads of casual/agency workers in at our office,exactly what RM expect them to is a mystery,weather its inward sorting on the deliveries or outward sorting on the processing its all gonna be a mess as English is not the first language for 99% of them.It'll be interesting to see if they are sent out with pre-prepped walks.

I'll nip down the office later to see if anyone went in,although after the way the delivery staff have been treated at Watford over the past 8-10 weeks people would need their lumps feeling if they did go in.

No! your delivery will be no more than 3.5hrs it says SO.

your delivery span is 3.5 hours you dont have to deliver after that so cut off and bring it back let the dims & poles do it.

This is the thing,the chances are the strike breakers will be in sorting and prepping for 4 days,i know that's happening in my place.
So there will be loads of rows because of the 3-30hr delivery time.
