Brilliant. Just bend over and take it. FFS!! There aren't many times I have anything good to say about the French but at least they stand up and fight.
Don't they just though.........there was Agincourt, World War 1 and World War 2 to name but three occasions :crazy:

The North London reps did not accept that this was correct and they believed that the work could get in earlier on the second wave.
And people think London is treated better than the rest of us :hmmmm is it any wonder why the perception of London is so low :roll:

If the 3.40 is being reduced for breaks and replenishment then wtf was it before the modernisation agreement and is that on a 10 hour day or an 8 hour day - the complaints about how London is perceived by others :roll: well the ammunition is provided by those self same complainers.

I was doing a 4 hour delivery 6 years ago and thought it was perfectly acceptable - and that didn't include breaks.

i can never understand the antipathy to the french from some in this country towards them. dunkirk on the other side of the channel is a by wide in treachery. and their working classes had the good sense to send their aristocricy to the guillotine in the past.

Why were you doing 4 hour deliveries 6 years ago when the national agreement had a 3hr 30min maximum span?? :confused
ps. i think s6 was talking about the french workers ability to oppose the goverment and get a good deal for themselfs not edited highlights of their countrys militay record.
