A Lilt in Our Gait??

Post by Eastie16 »

At Moya's recent CBI appearance, she reportedly said "95% of Royal Mail staff come to work with a lilt in their gait"! :shock: Even Daily Mail/Telegraph/CBI audience were incredulous. D'you think she meant to say "limp"?

In the Daily Mail it was quoted Miss Green attracted mocking laughter from the audience when she suggested all her staff were so happy they walked with a spring in their step.... :left:

Probably because they have noticed over recent years that a lot of postmen/postwomen are so worn out or injured they can barely walk let alone manage a "spring in their step" :arrrghhh

A statement so crass it's laughable, hence it's now my signature.

She should be emabarrased if she expected anyone to take that remark even remotely seriously.
I am no longer a number :-)

And that c*** is paid £millions. If she meant a spring in our step, then that is one dangerous motherfucker we have over us.

so I take it the "Have you say survey" has been ignored and quietly forgotten Again. or she would have quoted the percentages to prove this crass statement

by the way I and my neighbours have not had mail for 2 days and apparently it is piled high up on top of the frame , so I am not holding my breath for today

Well I was right no mail today pity the postie calling tomorrow :Boo hoo!
