If it was nurses going on strike, they'd be overworked, underpaid 'angels'

or train drivers imo

Posties dont remind you of perfectly formed birds in simpy uniforms, hth.

redbag does

posties do the easiest job in the world. I would say it's only slightly more physically demanding because most nurses will spend a large portion of their shift on their feet.

Whilst nurses must complete a 3 year training course and have people's lives in their hands posties need 5 minutes "training", a map and the ability to walk and the huge responsibility of putting pieces of paper through a hole.

Moaning twunts need to get a grip. easy job with no stress gets 17k a year and afternoons at the pub, don't pretend you save lives.

It's just a glorified little paperound with letters (that are lighter) instead of papers :)

Unless you are delievering a letter from the 'About to die' department of St Thomas and Guys saying that you need to attend an appointemnt soon or will almost certainly find yourself eaten my maggots whilst your intestines hang out of your arsse

Nurses get paid while training. Nice 'work' if you can get it. And they don't walk 10 miles a day carrying a 40lb bag.

nurses get a £400 a month bursary which is not a lot given that they have to work an average of 20 hours a week in addition to studies. I would bet that they do have to walk close to 10 miles in a 12 hour shift, and that 20kg bag gets lighter as you walk. Only for a small bit will it weigh a lot.

Mesage to posties: anyone can walk with a slightly heavy bag. It isn't hard. It requires no skill and a not-unusual level of strength. You are not important.

And you lot don't get paid THE SAME (no overtime) for clearing up someones diseased shytt on your uniform. You'd be having 'the managemnet' in the Civil Rights courts or something

Nurse v posties lol

I did have some sympathy a few weeks ago but not now.

Both parties deserve each other.

A few nurses i wouldn't mind having..

Both get the job knowing exactly what the pay is and the conditions.
Whats the ferkin problem? here the job, heres the pay, dont express surprise

Hmm... nurses have to train for 3 years to qualify to a basic level, posties just have to learn to stick your mail in the letter box of someone living 3 blocks from your house

Didn't know you were a bit of an angler ,wur ;)

Decent haul.

how can you compre a nurse with a postman . first of all im not going to pretend i know what the posties are striking for i dont and i dont care imo how hard can it be being a postman ill answer that if a 12 yearold kid can do it for £10 a week its a piece of piiss imo get back to work head down @rse up and stop moaning your not earning enough and ur being worked harder i know plenty of people that need a job and wouldnt moan about it , the majority of you are greedy useless people. as to the nurses girls your doing a great job and are payed no wear near enough but hey there getting on with it

oh right
