Untill the date on my notice that'll be going in soon :Very Happy
(And yes, i voted YES and will strike, even if it was my last day as a big middle finger to those above).

But for any of those eyes from above watching, i have a rainy day stash, so could easily survive as long as needed within reason.

I've marked my cross in the big fat YES box & it's in the envelope, if i remember I'll post nearer the 19th, I do wonder whats the point Royal Mail always get there way, empty letterboxes, collect parcels from the customer, take photos on the doorstep, happily I'm the other side of 50 & one day I'm not going to wake up anymore to D2D's, 16 mile walks & aching bones, think I'm already beaten :Boo hoo!

You do wonder what it will take in this country to get people up off their knees.

Petrol at £2 a litre should have us blockading the f***ing refineries.

Politicians lying, cheating, stealing, groping, molesting should have us finishing off what Guy Fawkes started.

A Prime Minister who holds piss ups in the middle of a pandemic, doesn't know how many kids he's got and tries to get his mistress a top job in return for a BJ in his office should have us throwing a rope over the nearest lamp post.

But no... we worry about losing a couple of days strike pay and moan about the weather.

It's pathetic, as a country we're that guy at the back of the fight holding the jackets.

I questioned a crew today that always have their walk chucked in when I turn up, one ignored me, the other said if they didn't they wouldn't get done on time :arrrghhh I mentioned the overtime ban & the strike, he said he could see both sides of the argument regarding the pay rise :arrrghhh this is what we are dealing with, I can see why RM employ so many idiots for a reason :arrrghhh

You do realise that most companies change terms all the time and your contract isnt worth the paper its written on, most people just move elsewhere.

Funnily enough they don't move elsewhere at royal mail because we fight them to stop them changing things and that's why there's so many people who have been here for 20,30 and 40+ years
