How was the turn out at your office's?
Oxfordshire was very well attended,the message to Leighton and Crozier is clear, we will not give into your insane ideas of modernisation, and the robbery of our pensions.

In a city of the Eastern no4, we have a delivery office and a mailcentre. Its nice to see two twin brothers support the strike at there DO, but same sh!te as usual, there they were yesterday, in for the distribution office SA. You two fellas make me sick, especially as you ghost 6 hrs at your own DO, an still book docket at my MC when your still on pay at your DO. Its sickening you get double pay all year round then support your own strike an undermine mine. Dont boast to me you earned Â£38,000. Absolute trats.

Edinburgh South East, 22 turn out of 65. Pretty crap IMO, but we do have 10 part timers. 4 colleagues whom I won't talk to again. RAT BASTURTS!

we had 4 strike breakers and 3 new starts go in, most supported the strike and Royal Mails demands seem to be stiffening any doubters resolve at the moment, roll on a general election

About 60 went in out of 130, went out on delivery with no more than a tray of mail. Be intrested to see what they will be doing for the rest of the strike.

Don't know if anyone went in, there is usually only one out of 100+ & he works in the 'Callers' We did see one van go out with a couple of men(?) in the back wearing civvies.
There was around two dozen on the picket line so i hope a few more turned up later especially those that post on here that weren't present.
Not the best pic as i didn't fancy standing in the middle of four lanes of traffic to get a better one.

Funniest moment of the morning was when the local tramp took the opportunity to get himself a Hi-Vis & help himself to whatever else he could lay his hands on.
