Thank you so much for your observation on the current Royal Mail dispute. I am so impressed I am going to send your views to Mark Higson this very minute, who I am certain will be asking you to contact your local employment recruitment agency so he can get you on the management team :left: :left: :left:

Let me get this right.

Case 1: We elect particular unions reps, right up the scale to the top but when we don't agree with what they suggest we do, even though we voted on it and 76% agreed to it, we ignore it (maybe we voted 'No') go into work and get patted on the back.

Case 2: We elect particular MPs and a government is formed but when we don't agree to certain laws, taxes and, most of all, some aspects of political correctness, we break/don't pay/ignore it (Maybe we voted for another party) we go to prison?

As Neil from The Young Ones might say: 'Oh yeah, I get it'

I'll give Ken credit for at least for walking in. Two years ago one individual at our office (single, with only himself to keep, does all the overtime going as he feels the place would collapse without him - you know the type, but he 'needed' the money) was smuggled in, hiding in the back of a van. He's probably beavering away right now.

Sorry Nighty but they've found him out - they've been around too long and seen too much - that's RM for you . The Question has to be begged as to why people are so skeptical , suspicious and cynical - try Ask Adam

Same story , same chapter with RM - Too contrived , patronizing , laid on too thick and full of holes
