Industrial action, also known as avoiding work
Significant delays in sending letters and parcels to the UK through the Royal Mail are happening again. While only London staff are involved in industrial action this week, there is rising fear over a looming national strike, causing mild to negligible panic among aunties and luddites.
Members of the Communications Workers Union (CWU) will ballot tomorrow in between mid-day bowls of Kellogg’s Crunchy Nut about whether to escalate their action to a national walkout.
While the details of why they are striking or if they even understand the implications of their facetious and consistent industrial actions remain unclear, one thing is certain: no-one cares.

Essex police unveil new meaning of the word ‘fact’
Ignore the facts, the police chief knows all.
People in Essex have more chance of winning the Lotto than being mugged, police authority chief Robert Chambers claims. However, the data available from Camelot and Essex Police websites tell a different story.
Mr Chambers insisted that his statement was ‘fact’. “You are more likely to win the lottery than you are to get mugged in Essex,” he said, “That’s a fact.”
Figures on the force website record 276 robberies in Essex between the start of April this year and the end of June; the monthly average is shown to be 92 muggings throughout the county.
