'Why I refused to go on strike' - POSTMAN KEN GIBSON

[Pinky 1]

Apologies, i missed the Twickenham bit ....... so, does anyone know Ken Gibson ?
There's still a lot that doesn't add up in this "story" ..............

[piranha]

I'll ask around tomorrow, there are people at my DO that know people over there

This may well be fiction but as I said on another thread, the Mirror is no friend of the postman.

I know that my colleagues back in the 70's used to complain about the anti postal staff bias of the Mirror but I can't remember exactly what the reason is behind it. Surprising really in a rag that used to say it supported Labour and the workers.

Having read his speil, i have come to the conclusion that it must be real, it has to be!
Firstly he is obviously a postman/manager (as they are now called) i think thats their new job description...
Failing that,he is a part time worker as he has only worked for RM for 5 years.
Conclusion KEN GIBSON postie with 5 years service ponders why he is still a part-time postie after crossing picket line!!!!!!!!!

Right it is fiction ,but if its true I'll pay for one night for him in that luxury motel 'Bates's' and get old ma Bates to give him a dam'n good banjo-ing with her sabre

Well what can be said, there but go for the grace of god go I, but when my parents brought me up they taught me to have respect for myself and others and if I see an unjust thing being done, to stand up and do something about it, not to bleat like a sheep, that is after all how Hitler got in not enough people standing by there moral compass he says royal mail is twisting the facts about mail volume we all know that so what does he do goes into work and lets others fight his fight for what is right

That's a very fair post. I hope he refuses to accept any benefits which this strike might bring. If he was to accept them, he'd be a hypocrite as well as a scab. But then perhaps the highest form of hypocrisy is being a scab.

OK that's just a bit too far. Can we have axeman banned now please - obscure jokes.

Having said that I know Ken's cousin, Gibson Les Paul.

Go to the user control panel, board preferences and uncheck the summer time/DST in effect button and then your time will be back to normal.

Don't be harsh with people who don't want or unwilling to strike. They may have a mortgage to pay or a family to feed.
