Yes post has come mid afternoon before even though I live in a town. I also love getting the post, I'm always disappointed as there's hardly anything for me. Unless I've been busy on ebay...(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Thankfully, the Internet cannot go on strike. And, as always seems to happen, the strike action will cause a slight drop in how many documents are sent through the post rather than online, reducing the number of postmen needed....

Melody - neither have we (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif), and I'm waiting for Higher results. I didn't register online (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) so I hope everything's sorted by Tuesday. Although...I wouldn't mind a few more days of not worrying about them.

Not heard about any strikes. Our post on some occassions has been known to come through the door at 7.30am, other times it comes at about 2pm!

I'm waiting on Standard Grade results but i was reading on the BBC news website that the SQA is going to send the results out by courier if the strike is still ongoing. |

I got some post today! A heavy pile dropped onto the mat and I rushed out, expecting to find nothing for me. Then I was greeted by an edition of Flute talk! yay!!

I guess you either haven't been to university, or somehow went but avoided catching the 'ooh, post!' bug. There's little more exciting than inspecting the college pigeon holes on the off-chance of some mail (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif).

Unfortunately the "ooh, post!" thing wears off after a few more years of junk mail and bills.....

Or else you get to the stage where it is 'Oh good -no post' because more post is more (usually admin) work
