Too right they should have should stayed to make sure everyone was safe and sound.
The line manager changed people's days off to suit him, but managed to get today off himself.
The manager failed shitloads and f****d off home.
We get a couple of chocolates and they are supposed to go up in our estimation?
f**k the lot of them, useless bastards one and all.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

3 years ago we got bacon butties,
2 years ago we got a couple of quality street,
last year we got 1 chocolate,
this year alas we got zip!

Think the dim was visited by the ghost of Christmas present, can't wait til the ghost of Christmas future visits him tonight and he sees that when the season of goodwill is over and I am working to my time EVERY day.

Merry crimbo everyone

:Very Happy :Very Happy :Very Happy it's all over

Yeh great Drink and Drive!

Ours told us that the Post Offices were closing early and if we weren't able to arrange a picket up from a pouch box for any slip-lefts, would we please bring them back to the DO, so the "customers" could get their parcels for Christmas. WTF We all put Tuesday on everything, as if anyone was going to collect a parcel slip-left that morning and come down to the DO on Christmas Eve afternoon.
