Thought I'd just let the Forum know that ...I ...(and others over here) are more than happy to help with parts/bits for members in the want section......
However, bit difficult at the moment....our good old postal service has been on strike now for FOUR weeks with no immediate end in in sight.
Our lack Lustre Government refuses to force them back to work....

Hi Dermott,
Wow... 4 weeks!! I guess that will create a lot of trouble in the mails.. and will take a lot of time to stabilise.
What are they claiming? Better salaries?

Yep, a royal pain in the A** Their demands are numerous and absolutely ridiculous.
19% raise....and other guarantees....more sick days and they want to bank the sick days...keep them there till they retire. They are a Crown corporation...good pay...great benefits and good pension. They are so out of touch.... Can. Post has lost nearly $4 billion over the last 4 years.....
As of Monday...over 12 million packages sitting in depots across the country.
They have a staff of 56 thousand,.....that was the number needed back in 2019 when they were handling 5.5 billion packages (year)...that has dropped to 2,5 billion....but they still have the same number of employees....
A private corporation would never operate like that...they would be bankrupt!
