Surely they aren't having a meeting just to confirm the subs are going up - is there a more sinister agenda

Don't know about the prawn butties but I'll wager ginger beer will figure in the proceedings somewhere along the line.

They will be pressing us to vote for Dave Ward in the forthcoming election.

Bet it wont be good news for deliveries.

[Red Robbo]

Rumour in our Bristol office is that Royal Mail are being pressured by government to renage on the terms & conditions so they can sell the rest of the shares they hold without any obstacles

[Lincox]

No doubt they have already broken some of the terms and conditions. The pay rise in April wont be any great surprise if it is less than in the agreement as it is based on the underlying inflation figures.

Did I miss it?
The first one is scheduled for tomorrow.

The agenda is being handed out at the door they wouldn't like people to be prepared for the bad news and have awkward questions being asked. I think I can say without fear or favour it isn't going to be a 10% rise
