I've only recently started out. As I recently said I'm looking at staying small for the next 12 months at least if my business plan goes the way I want it to. Suffice to say the next few months will be crucial and any obstacles could seriously derail me and the only obstacle I can forsee is something going wrong with deliveries and postage. In my line of business potential customers will choose the path of least resistance. It takes a lot to persuade them to use a service like mine rather than what they're used to. So if something gets in the way I'm unlikely to get a second chance from them.

So, what will you competitors do during the strike?

So I guess that just means I'm not a good business person eh? Still, fortunately ad hominem arguments are thankfully alive and well.
Yeah......OK.
