London on the front line

I see London is on the front line again! Most offices on wildcats. It was the same during the war. The rest of the country being just spectators. Strange really, considering the postmen in London are the ones who can least afford it, with the astronomical cost of living in london.

So the rest of the UK were spectators during the war.

Well I wonder how the good people of Coventry and Clydebank and all the other countless towns, villages and cities that suffered feel about that crass statement.

There are too many idiots who just open their mouth and let their belly rumble without engaging their brain - that's if they have one.

(cross thread from last night; Hi i just got home from my PRDC run oh what a fun night

I got there at 21:55 parked up and as i did so was informed that all RM staff were on a walk out

Within 10minutes the whole yard was chaos wagons everywhere not able to unload 1st class yorks as all the bays were full. I went in asked whats was going on and one guy i know and very militant CWU member told me basicly 3 guys had been suspended without pay for refusing to touch work brough in for sorting from NDO

and that the whole lot decided to walk

and then he went home.
This left the whole DC crossdocking operation in tatters work/wagons building up and only managers and 25-30 agency to sort it

By the time i left (with 24 yorks on a double decker) Drivers had left either with very little or empty as the work was down the other end of the building. It was that bad that CPC (postal control) had to issue a 30min blanket hold code for all departing vehicles so some work would move in the network.
So loads of failures tonight Good on you boys
