- we'd be lab rats.

We're just part of some great experiment.

For the sake of accuracy what animal type did you have in mind? coz like if your a horse then they could carry a 16kg bag of mail well probably 3 or 4 come to think of it.... so not much public outcry there more "the lazy bu**ers only got 1 bag!"

:Very Happy This came up way back on another thread! I remember quoting something about Donkeys rights, which were far better than ours, but I can't quite remember what it was.
It just seems so daft to have governments championing the rights of workers in other countries, whilst cracking the whip at us! Maybe what we need is a foreign T.V. company to come in and film undercover, then expose our working conditions!

We have for a long time been treated as animals by RM, Donkeys for the amount of stuff we carry, Stallions as we persist in racing around, owls because of the time that some of us get into work and goldfish for the intelligence that we display in putting up with it

But being a horse has its bad points... How are you going to filter the mail; post in through letterboxes; write out 739s etc . etc. ? :p
