so there has been a series of royal mail strikes over the past week. around the country posties went back to work on saturday after a deal was reached with the union, but in liverpool? oh no, not in liverpool the glorious land of industrial action.
the postal workers in liverpool are staging what the press is calling "wildcat" strikes meaning that the backlog is getting even bigger. i can't stand it, it's driving me mad. the likelihood of my stepmum's 60th birthday package getting to her on time is incredibly unlikely now despite me sending it a month in advance. my grandpa probably won't get his birthday card, nor will my grandma receive her get well card anytime soon.
but i'm also more concerned about the effect it's having on local businesses and hospitals unable to get letters to patients, bill payments to suppliers, and heaven forbid not receiving concert tickets in the post.
stop living up to your reputation to being lazy scousers who can't be bothered to work the hours you're being paid for and get back on the job.
ranty lauren done for the day and off to work day 6 of 9 days working straight. after that i'm going to start tackling the back log of mail sitting in the copperas hill sorting office.

Lauren: Stike Breaker!
what's a stike?
D'Oh!
Of course I meant to write Strike, makes the joke a lot funnier. However, since you've asked what a stike is I say tell you.
A stike (the word originates from 13 / 14th century England) is a quantity of 25 eels. Ten stikes being a bind of eels.
So there you have it. Lauren, breaker of eels.
