Man arrested in postal depot row
A man is in hospital and another has been arrested after a fight at a postal depot in Dorset.

Police were called to the Royal Mail sorting office in Poole, in the early hours, to reports of an altercation between two employees.

One was taken to Poole Hospital with head injuries. He is expected to be released later, police said.

A 45-year-old was arrested but has since been released on police bail until the end of March.

If THAT'S true, they certainly won't have been arguing over who split the atom

Why would there be TWO less?
How do we know that one wasn't attacked by the other?
Are you seriously suggesting that a potential victim of assault couldn't get their job back, if sacked by RM?

Word in our office was a worker attacked a late shift manager after he suspended him for refusing to change his duty. They said hes got a fractured skull.

Well at least he's unlikely to have sustained brain damage then.

Unless its caused by bouncing off both sides of his skull.
