More RM propaganda. We were a trial site for the trikes. I went on the training course. They wouldn't let me have a trike cos the area i work in is so shitty.
So i'm trained to ride a trike but can't have one. My poor shoulders and back and knees and hips are still taking a pounding.
How wide are them things? I should imagine there nearly as wide as your average car. :shock: They did'nt show the long lines of angry motorist stuck behind one in morning rush hour traffic. :shock: My office is on one of the main routes into Stafford, there's no f***ing way anyone would get out on to that in the morning. I leave work about 0730, I work nights and usually stop have a coffee and slag the managers off, If I leave any later the roads usually rammed with traffic.

Royal Mail's equivalent of the Sinclair C5 ? , remember the skit on Spitting Image years ago ? , one of them won't last long on a chavvy sink estate ? , the posties would look good going round a s**** estate . It's what Senior Mgt are plugging and complaining about the CWU being obstructive with RM's 250 trials . What planet are these people on? :lfo

I have absolutely no f**king idea - but whatever planet it may be it is totally alien to me - live long and prosper. Nanu Nanu! Take me to your leader!

There used to be a Scottish SM mafia, but most are from a commercial background and are hostile , if the H******* mods are anything to go by ,some of the stuff will go down in the annals of forum history. It would be like a Shameless Episode going round a sink estate with the trikes , don't think RM will film there for thier propaganda videos , people will be p****** themselves watching them.

If it's only a 40 mile rural you get an HCT and a pair of roller boots - bloody hell don't tell me you were expecting a van! :shock:
