Subject: Postal Strike at Oxford
If there are any HUMANISTS out there waiting for information or texts from
the Oxford Text Archive please note that the city has been hit by a local
postal strike which commenced last Thursday. Hopefully it won't be too long
before normal service is resummed. Until then please use email if you need to
get in touch.
