Got it in one! Over 60 of us handed the letter the union supplied for dispute about later times,he handed them back saying it was a national dispute.
To be honest the wind has been taken out of his sail's since the news filtered through about rm offer.He was always going on about how the job changes we'r ok as long as they did'nt touch the pensions...guess what.........

HOWEVER....You can't afford NOT to with the conditions / strings that RM want....an remember, these conditions are only the begining of the savings plan.....

BUT........

to help each other out, here are a few money saving tips to keep the wolfs at bay....

1 - Sell your unwanted....or little used JUNK on EBAY !

2 - Drink at home....you'll save a small fortune, and get to spend more time with the Mrs. ( Well, we all have to make sacrafices.....And the more you drink...the better she'll look )

3 - Start doing the food shopping somewhere cheaper....... ALDI / LIDL / FARMFOODS etc..... ( REMEMBER, its only temp. , you can go back to waiterose once the strikes over.... )

4 - Stop eating take-aways.....your heart / waistline will thank you.......

5 - Phone up sky and tell them your switching to NTL....you'll get a reduced price for the same package for 3 months ( now that Jose has gone , you'll not need SKY SPORTS anyway....lol )

6 - as above for NTL customers......vice versa

7 - Visit http://www.moneysavingexpert.com

8 - See the site above to advise you upon SWITCHING your CREDIT CARDS to 0 % deals.....

If all else fails sell the Mrs. ( offers anyone ? )

If you can think of any other useful advice to KEEP ourselfs supporting the strike....please help others by posting them.....

REMEMBER....SHORT TERM LOSS for LONG TERM GAIN

Here's a useful tip for any of you with young children - tell your kid that when the Ice Cream Van is playing that annoying song, it means they're sold out ;)

Seriously though, get as much money as you can into a high-interest ISA.

Also, if you haven't done already (as many haven't), it is possible to reclaim tax up to Â£45-a-year for every year you've worked for RM (up to a maximum of 6 years) for having to wash your own work clothes.

I also suggest visiting this site http://www.1stcontact.com/live/index.ph ... lAodCEyXVw
They will contact the Inland Revenue to find out how much income tax you can reclaim from the last financial year. 97% of people are eligible for this, according to the website, so I would suggest everyone give it a go...

Hope that helps[/url]
