I can't remember ever having a postal strike in this country. I can only assume they're not allowed to strike.

Didn't Regan shoot all the striking airtraffic controllers?

Albeit why not post chicken livers and kippers? When they sit undelivered in sorting offices, they'll stink the bolshy twats out.
Always read the instructions, even if you don't understand them.
I'm not going to do Christmas cards this year I think.
I only ever do a few now. Like as in 3 or 4. And that's partly because I love shopping for Christmas stuff, including cards.
I don't send everyone at work a card, for example. Does make you feel a bit guilty when they all give you them, but still. 
Has anyone here ever had their surname spelled spectacularly wrong on a bit of mail?
I haven't.
Well, pretty wrong. I mumble a bit on the phone, so they heard me wrong and spelled my name Davis once. :/
(Actually that's happened twice. I must really be a mumbler.)
Wow! How can you mix up Laura with Davis? The mind boggles.

I was once called Mr Orrible in a doctors surgery - it's Orbell! It's said as it's spelt! You don't press a doorrible on someone's door, do you?
My Student Finance is being sorted by post so I have no money. Yay for this. 
Stoopid posties.
Am gonna write them an angry letter. But they'll either never get it, or will be too lazy to get rid of it by distrubuting it to someone else.
We got delivered an empty box. It was supposed to have a little toy car inside, but some git nicked it and then posted us the cardboard. My nephew was not very impressed with the cardboard "toy" I gave him.
