Curious American and the Postal Strike?
How have you gotten your bills in order to pay them? Or do the majority just pay them online? Here in the US the elderly get their pension checks or social security checks via snail mail? Is it the same in the UK? How are people getting checks if so? The bills not so much a big deal because most people know when their bills are due but for those relying on mail to recieve their pay? Yikes!!
Thanks Jack!! I am sure it is a pain for everyone involved.
Yes we call it online banking. I know so many people still who do not have their pay direct deposited for some reason they don't trust that or the online banking. I pay the majority of my bills via the telephone or online if the company has a website. I can't even remember the last time I bought a stamp. Many elderly however are naive to the whole direct deposit and online banking. My gram still gets her check in mail, cashes it, and her savings is an old sock hidden in her house. She doesnt use credit cards or checks.

Luckily of letter of bills are paid by Standing Order or Direct Debit - you may call it something different over there but it basically means you have an agreement between you, your bank and who you're paying the bill to, that on the same day of the month, the money will go from your bank account to the electric company etc. It's the same with pay, most people get paid straight into their banks. But if you're waiting for some tickets for a music gig or something, these can be worrying times!
