I wish you luck, I really do.

Crozier must be loving it on £1m a year plus bonuses - second highest paid public employee in the country ...... what a joke.

i have nothing to apologise for, i think that is for the RM, its workers and the unions for getting themselves into this mess in the first place.

there is a compromise out there yet all three parties cant seem to agree to one...PATHETIC.

What is it then?

i dont know enough about the dispute to possibly say, as i said in my OP.

However, i do know that in any dispute there is always a compromise to be found and agreed to by all parties. The peace deal in Northern Ireland being one extreme example.

Worst analogy EVER!

P.S The workers are the union.

brilliant

The most idiotic post i've ever seen on here.

great idea the Good friday agreement. release all our mass killers and we wont do anymore bombing.
the IRA and UDf are still running their sections in Northern Ireland. Prostitution, drug running, embezzlement, money laundering, arms selling are still rife in the country, it just does not get reported anymore.

Good post, Lefty.

I've not really ordered anything recently due to this strike action, so have not seen the impact.

However, the only issues I am having with post at the moment are the morons that come round with their rucksacks and start putting thousands of fast food leaflets through. It's starting to really irk me. But that's another discussion so I won't disrupt this thread.

Nobody will pick up the Royal Mail as a commercial entity, the time and monies required to convert it into a commercial leviathan would be phenomenal.

Keep with the modernisation policy, as agreed between both parties and carry on as is. The only people to lose out on this will be the general public regardless of who ends up owning it.

This 'profit' that RM returned (how can a not-for-profit company declare a profit?), I assume it is going onto the pension deficit seeing as it has nobody to pay the surplus cash to.

The pension deficit which was essentially their fault when they took a payment break due to bad management? The only reason they post profits (324m) is so they can sell it on.

the ones killing Afghans to promote democracy, they've brought a one man one vote system, the man is Hamid Karzai

Why are these "heros" killing Afghans?

btw, Karsi by name and nature. The other bloke pulled out of the recount, because he knew it was bent.
Not that the Americans have any previous for vote rigging.

Surely that does not make his comment incorrect? Unless you assert that every member of the armed services earns more than a postman?

seems like he was doing just what anybody would do for a workmate.

question was why are they heroes for killing Afghans?

SOUND THE ALARM

We have a case of somebody not towing the line.

You are a disgusting individual who is unable to recognise the bravery, heroism of those brave men and women, risking their lives to occupy a foreign country, in the face of the illegal attempts of the natives to defend their territory.

These heroes take on the might of the Taleban forces with little more to defend them but some crap helicopters and jeeps with substandard armour, against one of the most fearsome military forces in history, that even beat off the Soviet Union. (Incidentally I notice that the Taleban give about as much of a poop about the £80bn Trident 'deterrent' as they did about the Soviets nuclear nal)

Live Wired I bet you would not have the balls to fly over and occupy somebody elses land in the name of Britain, you're probably one of these do gooders who goes protesting against war and animal rights testing and climate change, well have a think about why you enjoy the free and prosperous society that we all take for granted, because generations of British soldiers went bravely round the world and conquered the dark people, securing us natural resources that we could never have dreamed of finding at home, and getting us cheap labour (free labour before the do-gooders banned slavery) to enable us to make our small island one of the richest in the world.

Now have a think about the life you enjoy and repeat this mantra before you go to bed

"this is an essential job to stop terrorists using it as a training ground"

"this is an essential job to stop terrorists using it as a training ground"

"this is an essential job to stop terrorists using it as a training ground"

Right you've got me on the above post. Cant work out wether its a pee-take or serious.

and have to pay a lot more for the privilage unfortunatly!

Why are they heroes? They're getting paid money to do a job.

I'm wearing a poppy at the moment, out of respect for some real heroes.

I ordered my tickets for the NZ game this morning and it says on the email they've sent me they'll be posting them out............whats the chances of them getting here for Saturday? Are the posties striking again this week?

Good luck Posties. You have my support. Sometimes it's impossible to see the difference between this governments 'aims' and those of Thatcher.

Although in my job, I'd probably be thinking of ways to defeat the union (and Lefty), I know in my heart that the government's policy towards the Royal Mail is not one I support. Therefore I support the strike. For those of you who complain about it affecting you...well, that's the point. It wouldn't be much use if no one noticed!

Superb

This might be the best post ever.

natters you are really begining to annoy me, your lack of insight baffles me at times, do you play devils advocate (badly) on purpose? grrrr!

The Royal Mail will at some point go the same way as the Coal Industry and British Steel unless they change , I hope they go on permanent strike as it will mean no bills ! E-mail killed the RM not the government or the RM bosses whom are trying to keep it competitive in an ever shrinking market they should except the changes and move on before others step in and take more business off them imo !
