19k is alot of money for unskilled work, if they get much more they'll be on the same as proffs like teaching. And as Lisa has pointed out, if I were a teacher I'd be pretty miffed about that. I might even go on strike

Now there's a thought!

[The People's Hero]

I'm seriously considering being a postman. We're due to strike again next Monday.

Seems you only have to work about 50 days a year or something.

Oh to be part of a union and a grossly over-powered and militant one at that.

go for it if you think you could manage that much

you'd miss the verbal swordplay with thracian and ultra though

Quite frankly, it's more like I'm armed with the razor sharp blade of my wit whilst Thracian cluthes at a limp French stick and Ultra throws some (self-written) love letters at me.

I didn't realise they were on £19k.

I'll do that job. Our postman is fu cking shit and he never seems to lose his sodding job.

most posties do a bl**dy good job ;

out in all weathers , being confronted on a daily basis by irresponsible householder's nasty dogs ; delivering mail into letterboxes that seem to be set with bear trap springs etc etc ,

i don't know if the 19k figure is true or just a big adam crozier lie (what does he get btw?) but no doubt some of the workshy layabouts "posting" on here all day make similar amounts or more and if not , they get off fat computer bound arses and become a postie if they think its so ****ing brilliant

i've never been a postie but i delivered the yellow pages for a couple of weeks and i can say its bl**dy hard work

Lets pay paper boys and girls 19k a year because they do the same job.

Don't forget the parcel delivery peeps. They often have to wait for some old codger to open the door before letting his starving dog out...

Postman can post and run. Delivery drivers have to stand there with a dog hanging off their leg, getting a fcuking signature..

And people moan when the parcels are 'placed nice and carefully' over the side gate..

I bet the Poles would do it twice as quick for half that money.

Tossers the lot of ' em.

They'd do it quicker but you'd get the wrong post.

[The People's Hero]

I get the wrong post anyway.

Hence my comment 'they'd do it quicker'.

Every postman I've had (at 5 addresses now) has been a useless tosser.

perhaps you have had the same postman at all 5 addresses ;

ask your partner/girlfriend if there is something you need to talk about perhaps youre not delivering the goods

Binmen are also out everyday, come rain or shine, including housely encounters with ungrateful retards.

Working as a binman I got minimum wage, which equates to just under £10300 a year.

Most of the people were on about £12500 grand.

If that figure of £19k is true then they can quit their complaining.

Maybe not.

But I don't get paid £19k not to deliver goods.

Whereas postmen do!

Ultra's your postie.

Each time he gets the boot, he re-applys and dresses up as someone else.

i have a lot of sympathy for binmen too ( they have occasionally needed to strike to improve their lot) and believe they also do great work

but when you went out on strike you would no doubt get the same ridiculous arguments as used against the postmen ( get another job , get more education , be grateful for what you've got etc etc )

i don't know if the average postie gets 19k a year of if it is just a bit of adam crozier spin as i believe he is quite adept at that

Posties are on 19k starting wage I can gurantee that, my old man was on about doing it beacuse it's easy and well payed.

All together now..

Oh, your old man's a postie,

He wears a postie's hat....

[stez]

Now there's a thought!

aye, it won't be long 'til the teachers start moaning too.

[The People's Hero]

I like how posties say 'I go to work everyday come rain or shine'.

Firstly. No you don't you go to work everyday come rain or shine except when you can't be arsed in which case you strike.

Secondly. Do they think that most people get out of bed, look out the window and think YESSS rain today, I don't have to go to work.

Fu ckwits.

He likes to put the en(ve)lopes,

Mate at work told me that his mate is a postman and hes on 19k a year.

[Daggers]

There's more to life than this you know,

But not much more.
