As for being a "Big" announcement ................well there is such a thing as over exaggeration...............I mean what bloke doesn't know that.dvbuk55 wrote:And that's it?

That is definitely a "we'll take our ball home.....if we can get somebody to carry it" statement.

It's more a case of testing the water first to see if the troops are more likely to tell HQ to stick their bayonets where the sun don't shine than want to go over the top.dvbuk55 wrote:Well I must admit ft I got carried away with the moment - I was rather hoping for a "fix - bayonets - charge" knowing it would be my swansong![]()
The first rule of leading from the back is to make sure your bayonets are pointing in the right direction.

I suppose the militant in me never died, if you're used to being in the frontline you're never too worried about what's behind because you'll always be moving forward......................I may have lost my way a little in knowing who the enemy isfishtank wrote:It's more a case of testing the water first to see if the troops are more likely to tell HQ to stick their bayonets where the sun don't shine than want to go over the top.dvbuk55 wrote:Well I must admit ft I got carried away with the moment - I was rather hoping for a "fix - bayonets - charge" knowing it would be my swansong![]()

It will be your guys that take the brunt of it i would imagine,not delivery.SpacePhoenix wrote:Can't see it happening, management would have a field day doing people for willful delay
Would be stupid to try to hold together a boycott in 1500 D.O.s when you can cut it off at source in 50 mailcentres.
Especially since most branches,area reps work out of or near MC's.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
