just walked a mile to post some letters and the po letterbox was closed off so i walked another two miles to the post office ... apparently there's a strike, they kept quiet about that didn't they?
The strike is about , the Post Office plans to transfer up to 61 branches into WH Smith stores .
The move was part of a 10-year plan to cut costs and save cash, and would act as a way of "safeguarding the future of the network."
Yes it's a Post office issue not a Royal Mail issue- assuming the blocked up post boxes were at certain post offices. If that's the case then you could have posted at any post box that wasn't part of an affected PO. but as there so few post offices involved in the dispute and you found two then maybe there is a local strike affecting Royal Mail
