biggrin

I'm just off to London to give Winky a slap, but I thought I'd sort out the bins before I went.

My understanding is that they got a payrise this year and they're not happy about the percentage increase... so they're striking.

Now, excuse me for not getting all sympathetic for them but fk them, there are plenty of people out there who never got a payrise... there's a recession don't you know!

They should be glad they've got a payrise and get on with it... no wonder people aren't beeping their horns in support when driving past.

... not exactly a job requiring specialist skills now is it!
"I'm not bright but I can lift heavy things - I want more of a payrise"
