My mother's just rung and told me to fill the car up as there's a strike.

What's she whittering on about?

Union is voting on strike action by tanker drivers.

MOD is to train soldiers to drive tankers if needed

Thanks Gonzo. So initially it says it's a vote on strike action about safety then further down it mentions a minimum wage.

Sounds about right for Unite.

I think it's next month anyway.

Gonzo's link says ballot Monday with a view to striking on 03 April. I'll be on the next tankful by the time they've decided to try to hold us to ransom.

Ballsy, you're not having much luck when it comes to the motor this week, are you?

There's a surprise.

 

Unison = Wankers.

i have 3 full Jerry cans in the shed. ( 60L in all ), and the tank will be filled tomorrow and topped up daily (80L), I use roughly 15-20L a day so should give me a week in a worse case scenario.

 

I'm in no rush to go buy more Jerry cans.

I've filled my outdoor pool with unleaded and the indoor one with diesel.

 

I'll be selling it all at ?2 per litre when the strike kicks in.

Have you stocked up on stamps as well?

 

Martin Lewis recommends stocking up on them for Christmas for a few years as well!

 

They're going up again apparently, but if you buy the ones that just have 1st or 2nd on them they are inflation proof.

 

I know the saying 'look after the pennies' but seriously!

Stamps are daylight robbery. They used to be 20 odd p, now it's nearly a quid to send anything.

Have you stocked up on stamps as well?

 

Oh yes, I've got some old black ones that used to only cost a penny.

 

They must be worth at least 45p now.

I've been pricing numerous jobs this last month or so and have had to cut my rates again to compete with others less desparate than us, which means some of the lads wont get paid as much, will have to work a bit longer, and the suppliers need to work harder with their rates.

 

 

So, shall I go on strike or shall I be grateful for what work there is out there?

 

smiffs - fucking hates unions with a bastard passion.

10 years of dealing with the fuckers at the mill was enough for us, till we decided to no longer recognise them.

Wankers.

The battles we're currently having with the tenders we're doing is outrageous. Companies are simply accepting losses before they even win bids. It's ridiculous.

 

However, Jonny 56 Holidays who works for Unison will care not a jot about the real world, and continue to assume we'll keep bankrolling their cushy lives.

 

Unions are pissflaps. Absolute pissflaps.
