Same here, Casuals/Agency staff leaning on frames and sitting in Tea Area's / Canteen with nothing to do....
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

Enough of that common sense. Royal Mail does not recognise common sense. Or Junk Mail. Or reality.
