We never got anything, what ever we suggested was turned down so it was always unspent.

I suggested a visit from the chiropodist to treat our feet(tools of our trade).Dim looked at me like I was s**t,ended up getting new locker's which were inferior to the old one's :arrrghhh .

sounds about right.we did use our money to pay for tea/coffee/and squash,as we have no vending machine.god they are so good to us?? we have an old telly that one of the guys brought in,a bit dated.i guess its down to each office to provide if they want it.what facilities do the big units have? I guess its all under canteen type stuff? not sure what facilities royal mail should provide for rest rooms?

We got a new stereo.

I wonder what happened to the money left over ?
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
