    The Royal Mail is actually starting to effect my business...

    We've had no mail since last Friday, nadda not even the spam has made it through.

    We know we have mail sent to us from the beginning of last week... it's frustrating.

    They are a bunch of thieving postmen who can’t even read numbers and street names, Sometimes they even get the wrong city. If the Paddy Party got to power I would execute 100 of them as an example. (I bet they already do that in China)

        Tell me about it. We use a PO BOX for my plan B and it is the inconsistency that is so annoying. Sometimes items that were posted the previous day arrive the next day and others do not arrive for 4/5 days for no reason at all. (Before the bad weather and during)

            No it's effect.

            The snow is affecting the delivery of mail.

            My business is being effected by this change.

              Not quite. Your business can effect a change, but your business is being affected by a change.

                  Ours aren't too bad.

                  The royal mail and the posties where I used to live did make me feel suspicious though.
                  Every time a parcel (e.g. from amazon) arrived it would have a cunning little rip down the side of the box, large enough to see if there were any iPods or expensive goodies inside. To their disappointment we are fairly boring online shoppers and only really order books, so nothing was ever lost.

                    What's your business Scooter? Plan B or main focus?

                    Our post has surprisingly been fine so far. The van struggled onto the estate until yesterday, I think he dumped it further away and walked today.

                    Do posties get paid hourly though? If they don't work do they still get paid? Same goes for binmen actually... they haven't been but to be honest I really don't blame them because if a bin-lorry gets stuck on a little residential street, they're a bit screwed.
