UK members are probably aware, but I thought it worth posting for the benefit of overseas members who order from the UK – the Royal Mail strikes have now been called off until the new year, to allow for further negotiations, so there shouldn't be any further disruption for a while. Dom. |

Indeed, I suspect the backlog where present should be sorted soon. Did you not have a dancing banana?

Why were they striking anyway? |

Properly answering that would be a long post indeed, but for a brief summary; working practices, modernisation, redundancies, pension deficits, and general clashes with management. I think actual pay was pretty much the only thing they weren't striking over to be honest

So
the posties were actually on strike because they lost your banana? |
Doms Decals  | 05 Nov 2009 2:14 p.m. PST |
OK I give up; happy now

Sorry Dom I just couldn't resist. Yay its back! |

I swear that bloody banana's more popular than me – not actually that difficult, but irksome nonetheless

Cheer up Dom, someone could take a picture of you and put you into a banana yellow Zardoz nappy and set it a-dancin'. Besides, you only mention the fruit in your ads. Wyatt |

@Dom: Cheers for the news! I am going to resume thinking about what to order from the UK

Yay! Hooray! I had just ordered from Grubby Tanks when the strike started. Now I'll get the Kelly's Heros figures I sent for. |

Glad to hear it. So, their holiday is over a bit early this year? I would think that would reduce their leverage a bit

Thank God that banana's back |
