We, in South East London / Surrey are still getting post - I got my Lace Guild magazine through on Friday no problem but we haven't heard if international post is going out via Gatwick. The strike has spread up as far as Oxford and out as far east as Chelmsford. That said, we got post from Norfolk and Suffolk on Saturday from things we ordered off the internet late on Thursday. However, central London has ceased and the post boxes have now been sealed. There is hope that they will solve this within the week but nothing is promised.
