Postal Strike!!

We are into our third day without a postal delivery! I thought they (the Postman Pat and Patrica's) were only supposed to be striking on planned days? I've heard that there's some wildcat strikes breaking out in some of the major sorting offices - Glasgow for one! It's always Glasgow that have these wildcats.

My cousin's a Postee (yes Wazza you read that correctly) in Stepney and he tells me that they only actually work for about 20 hours a week but get paid for 40 hours! OK, they start at 5 am, but they're finished at 9 am!!

Fucking stupid Bastards....Murdoch or Branson will be waiting to pounce, mail by subscription within 3 years. Give the Job to the Polish. How much does he earn? I hear there not that bothered about the pay increase, but more about working practices, the RM has already lost the Amazon account
Still Crozier picks up a ?300K plus bonus, sorry my post is all over the cunting place, Iv'e had canneloni, and I keep burping, it's a fucking nuisance.

I know how you feel - I've just eaten cheese pie and fried onion rings with baked beans and lashings of HP sauce!

My cousin was saying that the RM might consider using a mail pick-up system that's used in some parts of Europe and North America!
