That was very well said, =D> . And how the hell can quoting Marenghi be a bad thing it is fucking hilarious. Oh have i missed the joke like a fucking plum?
Gee.... I don't know about the rest of you guys, but lately the only things that truly motivate me are erections and bowel movements.

Thank the Police coming straight from the underground...

That is a bit wank, but that was part of the deal negotiated when Allan Leighton joined the RM. Hasnt it ever been so tho with these jobs? Maybe he will get caught boning some slapper, or tossing of some puff on hamstead heath soon, resign and get another few £100,000 as a pay off. He has met his targets and got what he was promised, so the fault lays with RMs shareholder (the government) for making these promises in the first place.
Who here wouldnt take the bonuses if they were in his position???

oh well, this whole mess is clearly the governments fault. Just leave the free market out of domestic postal delivery!

Despite all this, wasn't the Royal Mail hitting its targets about getting post on time and stuff?

Probably right to strike. Although it screws everyone else up. Thanks.

that is something ive said to some of the whinging bastards there, if you dont like it here, go and get another unskilled job with a good pension, and £8+ pay and that still gets you done and home before dinner!

Yes, imagine all the rape and murder and madness.

And imagine if I tried to get my fellow colleagues at the pub to go on strike because we get paid minimum wage and it's a bloody hard job. It would be really silly, surely people know how much they get paid before they accept the job. Just get another one for good's sake. I'm sure there are other reasons for people to go on strike though and I'm probably just being an idiot.

The postal workers are facing pay cuts and massive job losses

It's a job not a bloody taxi! The naivity of some people astounds me, it's like theyve picked up the Thatcher textbook and are just quoting it.
