More to the point under who's auspice was this radio interview sanctioned.
"Today’s workplace has become heartless and soulless. Employees are seen as units of labour, automatons, functionaries, objects for achieving designated tasks, and as costs to be minimised."

Good Luck :Very Happy I'm not going to bend your ear about it, do your best tell the truth. I expect they'll probably edit it to a point you won't recognise what you said anyway! Most programs just seem to be interested in a heart-warming human interest story.

Don't expect they'll give you a full 2 hour slot to get your soap box out, do your best though. :wink:

Just liken it to Jesus of Nazareth when he had to drag his own cross through the streets prior to his crucifiction.

I dont want to seem rude but dont do it if Royal Mail is going to make you part of their propaganda! Last thing we all need is someone telling everyone on public radio how great it is working at RM.

Who then was Simon of Cyrene and what part did he if any play?

Hardly IIRC from religious studies at school wasn't he the one that carried the cross when Jesus was unable to.
