Courier stories are made up - fact
Can anyone on here confirm or deny that the stories printed in the management rag 'Courier' are statements by real characters. In my office there isn't a single person would go along with any of the comments stated. They most definately wouldn't pose for pictures with thumbs up commending the management's ideas. It's gotta be a stitch up.

There is at least one journalist who works for the courier...who is also a member of RMC.

She wanted you to "star" in the Courier if I remember rightly. (Didn't you even get her phone no.?)fishtank wrote:There is at least one journalist who works for the courier...who is also a member of RMC.![]()

You should have gone along with it, we would still be taking the piss today.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Re: Courier stories are made up - fact
I'm writing a letter to the courier right now actually, to tell them how my DIM came out in his car today with flasks of hot soup to keep us hard working Posties going in this foul weather! I would willingly sell my wife and children to help out RM if needed!!

Re: Courier stories are made up - fact
The courier is good for one thing and thats decorating with gloss paint, stick under the door or near skirting boards, the glossy paper is really very good for this, other than that it's too biased to read!
CUT OFF!!!

Re: Courier stories are made up - fact
What about the article from the guy that works in the callers office at Burgess Hill?
He needed to use a computer that was in another office and he estimated that he was taking 12000 steps a day (ithink - cause I chucked the Courier away) to use it.
What solution did he come up with? MOVE THE COMPUTER TO THE CALLERS OFFICE!!
Unbelievable!!
