We've had beer at our picket line.
And i'm guessing there was no one drunk on the skeggy line.

IT'S THE SUN FFS!!!!

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I dont think we do ourselves any favours tho being plasterd in newspapers swigging bottles of wife beater. whatever they write next to these images, people will believe.
I know the lads enjoy a beer, bont i think a bit of descression is needed. we need as many people on our side as possible.

It must have taken The Sun a long time to find something 'wrong' on the picket line.
Now lets see if they can find Crozier - now that would be a story worth reporting.

Strange story this which I don't believe for a variety of reasons

1. Its in the Scum .... sorry sun and they never make up stories do they. Liverpool residents may disagree.

2. Any self respecting picket line would hide the beer or drink it later

3. A good rep would have controlled it better and sent any drunks home.

4. The DOM or resident manager on gate watch would have reported them to the police.

5. Skegness has no drinking in public areas although not sure if the DO is covered http://www.thisislincolnshire.co.uk/new ... ticle.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;


Could they have taken pictures of posties who had been drinking in a pub, after the picket was called off :hmmmm - Sounds more plausible to me.

all very tru and shows why your are an all knowing all seeing administrator in the forum.

BUT do you not agree that IF true, its stupid behaviour and not doing us any good winning over the public?

Liverpool love the sun. loololololo

Oh if they did do it then they should hang their heads in shame, 1 very good act of supporting the Union and other workers, potentially scuppered by an ill thought out act :no no :no no . Have a beer after the picket and cover up the uniform that's the way to go.
