    Bllody Trades Unionists.

    I just had the most interesting lunch.
    It was prepare for lunch so decided to go to McD's.
    Got there and there are lots of people milling about in red and green macs.
    I found the door to be barred by red and green flags.
    I asked the chap standing between me and the door what was going on.
    He said "they are closed".
    I pointed out that there were people inside.
    He said "they were here before they closed"
    I asked if he could call a manager to explain to me why they were closed.
    He looked puzzled.
    I told him not to tell lies.
    He said nothing.
    I pulled the door open and broke his little flag poles.

    Normaly I am all for supporting workers with a valid grievance. I have stood on a number of picket lines and handed out hundreds of leaflets.
    I have talked to people to explain the protest and asked them not to go against us.

    I have never physically barred someones path.
    I have never stopped someone from going about their business.
    I have never created physical barriers.
    I have never lied about what was going on.

    Had he explained thier grievance I may have walked away. Instead I now hove no reason to support them.
    I may go back again for my T.
    I am not qualified to give the above advice!

              I have to keep going back. They are giving away these rather nice Coke glasses with any large Mcmenu.
              I need to get the full set of 8 before the wifes birthday next month.

                I had one of those until the other day, when my wife threw a knife at it and broke it !

                  8 you are generous, they better be wrapped in La Perla or you maybe seeing a lot more of your hotel mate.
                  Fiscal nomad it's legal.
