Where's My Mail?

Royal Mail has been on various levels of strikes for months now. So far our household has not received birthday presents, Internet purchases, family mail, invitations and that is what we know about.
Royal Mail says we are unlikely to ever receive them. Why is this acceptable?
Disputes will occur from time to time between enterprises and their workers. Most countries in the world can resolve their issues.
Here the parties appear to just become more firmly entrenched in their views neither side willing or able to move on.
So lets ditch Royal Mail (both sides) and have alternative mail delivery.

According to news reports that is what some companies are electing to do.
A report here from the Guardian.
Another here from the Royal Evening Standard.

So if you are planning on sending me a Xmas card this year maybe you should send it electronically!
Or maybe we can get Winston to train all the pigeons here to be useful.

The Bird Lady

Today she was feeding the pigeons at Marble Arch. They know her and flock to her for her breadcrumbs. She feeds them, then sits down to have a cigarette and a bit of a chat.
