Brilliant as we are we still can't deliver them the same day.

No the ballot starts on the day the papers are sent out. Or more correctly they send out the ballot papers on the first day of the vote otherwise people could receive them early and therefore run the risk of invalidating the ballot.

Of course the ballot timetable will not be extended. If you're someone who's savvy enough to be on this site, you can't have not read the agreement or formed an opinion on which way to vote even before the ballot paper was sent out. I don't need 2 minutes to fill my paper out. 2 weeks is more than ample time to post it back.

Some members could be given 2 years to get their ballot back and yet they STILL wouldn't even bother to vote :arrrghhh :crazy:

As Mr Higson has taken the time to write to you, I trust you will make the effort to reply.

No! Really! Now that is a turnup for the books - and here's me thinking how honourable and trustworthy they have been in the dealings with their employees BUT - lets draw a line under the last 6 years and put all our faith in a new understanding and trust :Sick

And why haven't I had one ft - I think you are getting preferential treatment - or maybe I am being singled out for something special :wink:
