    I just remembered our old postman.. he used to get pissed a lot of the time and on Christmas day he'd be stumbling all over the place cos everyone would give him a drink. He got sacked :(

    Any support I had for the strikers has now gone.

    It was the same with the fire fighters strike, they dragged it on too long and lost support too.

    fucking unions sticking their oars in. they want too much without looking at the broader scope of the business.

    However, few things i had sent/waiting to be delivered arrived ok this week :up:

    Keeping to the plan
    Most of the posties I know are just working through this they have no faith in it doing anything. Apparantly the unions and royal Mail arent communicating with each other and are getting nowhere.
