According to Barnacle there is nothing in "the literature" to suggest they'll be "taking the piss". More than likely swabs, as used by the Police for roadside stops etc.

Some posters on here would like to find out for sure as the swab test and urine test have different sensitivity when it comes to certain drugs. (Cannabis)
Not me of course, I don't drink or do drugs.

According to some on here you can "Just say no".
Not to the drink and drugs, but to the test.

An updafe?
Has someone been drinking?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

According to the Telegraph there was a meeting between the Union and Royal Mail today regarding this issue. Expect an update soon....ish. Probably be a delayed update, like most of the letters these days.
