Hello

Post by misterbryn »

Hi Everyone...

What a F**King fantastic board.
Been a postman now for almost 8 yrs and can honestly say the amount of change in that time is staggering....and not staggeringly good.
I've got 3 weeks off now thanks to the great 5 on 1 off system our rep got installed at our office...but I shall still be up at 5 on Friday to take my place on the picket line....
Just wish a lot more of my fellow workers would join us instead of treating it as a day off.

All the best

I can see it happening, if we get backing from customers and MP's, more so backbenchers.
