Nope, psychotherapists deserve nightmares :left: ..sitting on their backsides pretending to care, whilst surreptiously looking at their watches :chuckle

In any case I've already had to take it in twice :whistle :oops:

Out of pure nosiness, what are you retraining as? :cuppa
What are you knitting shambles perhaps you could knit me one? and make mine a mars bar please :cuppa
Mmmm....I love a Mars...

I had one yesterday, I like to nibble all the chocolate around the outside first, then the thicker layer of chocolate off the top, then peel the toffee off, and then finally devour the squidgy bit at the bottom....Mmmmm Scrumdilumptious :thumbup

I'm knitting a Mankini :left: If I make you one, :whistle I want a picture, so I can make sure it fits ok :left: they are the rules :chuckle
Well TBH I was thinking of something a little less ambitious than a mankini, though we are on the same lines and as for the devouring of a mars bar - my lips are sealed :chuckle :chuckle

Absolutely not, ask anyone, I cannot tell a lie - do you need any measurements Shambles or just use your imagination - I can give you a clue though - don't be too ambitious with the length and not that curly type wool, it might itch. :chuckle :chuckle

Serious note, I appreciate everyone has a voice, and is entitled to their say, which is what I've done too, if I have offended you, I'm surprised. Also, I hear what your saying re empty notice boards but there are websites full of info, to view, it's only a click away...We the Posties/Drivers need to fight regardless how many strikes we are basically forced into, and I'm sure the positives of being in the union, far outweigh the negatives, Unity is Strength, and we Are Many, our voices are louder and ARE being heard! Especially in forums like this.

Certainly not offended but as to your point about the boards and people can go on the internet which is true,but I was surprised the union aren't getting there point across like Royal Mail. It's on all tv's so the union have to use boards to display. It's not great but that's all they have. To me it gives out the impression they are not that bothered but this the biggest office I have been too, maybe you know of bigger. When I visit other offices I quite often look at the boards. My office which is a mail centre is covered in info from union. As for re training doing the knowledge so I can do taxi driving if all goes pear shaped

Even the Union are now in the 21st Century - they are also on Facebook, Twitter and probably Linkedin as well.

You mean as another job or just the taxi driving, I believe there's a lot of postie/taxi drivers in Lunnun.

I'm not being harsh I hope, but we kinda know what's going on, we work for them, and the CWU are more than aware of our angst re the current state of affairs, so for the few that like to sit on their backsides on the sidelines, and do nothing are basically lazy IMHO. :neutral:

Good luck with the knowledge, you wil need it, lundun is a tricky place to navigate! :thumbup

Now to set things on the right track and so you don't waste any wool, I'd like you to imagine a slim line type sock with a short foot and sealed end and an aperture where the heel is - it does take imagination but I'm sure you are up to the task :angel
