strike out

oh what a postal strike. can't get post. what a nightmare. i am fully aware that in the postbox down my road is 6 letters that i have posted in the last week. and there they sit until the man in his little red jacket, emerging from his little red van removes himself from the strike and collects them. but that's ok because i've got a phone and an email address, but there's nothing better than getting a letter. something coming through the door especially for you and not intended for anybody else. But i won't get any replies, because my letters aren't moving. bummer.
