Today the Royal Mail workers begin their two day national strike. Here in London the 'wild-cat' strikes have been going on for so many months now that it is doubtful we'll even notice the difference. Whereas once you put your letter in the post box secure in the knowledge that it would arrive the next day (providing you used a first class stamp) nowadays you put your letter in the post box and hope that at some point in the future it will arrive where it is going. I'm still waiting for a cheque posted a week ago last Tuesday.
