You're Top Poster: #1   | Post workers resume strike action http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7032582.stm OK, part of me supported the demands of workers for better pay and conditions, but this is bloody ridiculas. By the time they sort out the backlog, it'll be over a week without post. That's lost them all my sympathy - no consideration of the impact it has on other workers.

You chose dishonor and you will have war." (Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.) What did the Australians do in ww2 and other conflicts?

You're Top Poster: #4  | Like he did any work before.... I am waiting for some serious memory cards to arrive, my mums main christmas present and a birthday present. And because this lot can't do anything except winge and actually take their bosses to court then we all suffer. They hadn't better lose a damned thing i am waiting for. Mind you since the actions began several months ago we have been going for days without mail anyway.
