yes deliveries are out tomorrow its the network today at mailcentres etc.i love the comments you get like i thought you lot were on strike when with a big red bag on your shoulder and  a hand  full of letters your delivering to their doors. even though i work for them i still think its pants. most of us have accepted changes although still havnt had the new equipment that was supposed to assist us.
