Hang on, this is what we were told in the eighties. Trouble was that we were unskilled workers doing our best but being crapped on all the time. Where exactly would you have us working?

Will someone please answer the question about have you done the job? Plenty of people making comments usually with very bad spelling and grammar but no one admitting they have done it.

A challenge:- Meet me face to face and tell me how easy being a postman or soldier is! Bet none of you commenting have done either! PM now!

I didnt know we were all here to cry about how hard our job is; I really feel for you Morseman; you put yourself in them jobs, and if you didnt like them, that's not our fault.

There are plenty of soldiers and postmen who enjoy their jobs, especially soldiers who arnt serving. Funny, most of them go into the army, with the idea of sitting on their arses for 25 years, getting paid handsomely, and walking away with a comfortable pension. They are in shell-shock, when they realise they actually might have to go to war once in a while!!

I dont get why the fook people get job's/careers, that they know they are going to hate, then cry about it and look for the sympathy vote.

I may not be a postman, but I have run my own business for over 6 years now, and I have a decent understanding of economics, how businesses work etc (ive needed to, else I would'nt still be in business), and I base my opinions on this. Oh, and the fact that the postal workers strike every 5 minutes when they don't like a decision, spit their dummies out and cry like babies. And at the end of the day, not one of them has the brains to realise that EVERY TIME THEY DO THIS, THEY PUT MORE JOBS ON THE LINE BY LOSING THE ROYAL MAIL MORE CUSTOM!!

Morseman, keep crying about how tough it was being a postman and a soldier, but don't expect that everyone will agree with you. I could say my job is tough, up all hours of the night fixing servers located hundreds, thousands of miles away, all from the command line, working for days without sleep (3 days without sleep over Xmas 2005, try that), but I chose this job, and to be honest, I enjoy it greatly.

As Toto say's, so what if we have not been in either line of work, what is the point you are trying to make? We are not all 300 year old men on here surprisingly...

As for your point about spelling and grammar, quite what that has to do with anything I am not sure, most soldier's I know, are school drop outs, and postmen, well the Royal Mail will take anyone who is happy to do the job, even immigrants who can barely speak fluent English, so don't come on here trying to offend people for their spelling and grammar and trying to insinuate that you are somehow better than we are.

You were in two dead end job's, one plagued by scallies who have no other option in life, the other is available to just about any man or woman who want's to do it, hardly the best job's in the world, hows about that?

I do find it funny that the Royl mail constantly go on strike. it really must be the worst quality postal service, seconded only by something in Zimbabwe (Which is just a guess, Zimbabwe for all we know could have an immaculate postal system)

However, I do agree that it can be a hard job. My Job as a Motorsport mechanic is also hard, but its something I truly enjoy. Ive worked my ass off my whole life so far to get to the position I want. 11 plus, Grammar School, Sixth Form, University. Granted I know a lot of people dont have the same academic skills as others, but if someone doesnt enjoy a job, then they should think about what they do want, and go about trying to do something about it.

As for the Army? I always saw the Army as the place that the idiots and chavs went into, with the academic people in the Navy and RAF. HOWEVER.... I no longer believe that tosh, because I have some friends in the army, and I know how hard, difficult and challenging it is, so I have the greatest respect for ANYONE who joins the armed forces.

Unless your a skinhead chav who couldnt be bothered with getting a job etc...

cant say i have, I aint been a postie because there is no job challenge, cant be in the army because of diabeties (although i want to), so If you have been on both side's here it would be interesting to see why the postal service have the right to strike over a few colleges gettin fired (that they dont even know) and the army dont over lack of equiptment. at least those pussy whipped postie's get,as miss guidded pointed out pussy trollies and coats for the winter, a lift to their allocated road etc etc, the list goes on.

Typical internet warriors. Let's all gang up on someone. It is fairly obvious that there are a lot of young people on here with no experience of life, working or otherwise so there is not much point in debating the point any further.

Matt I doubt very much whether you run a business as you seem to spend most of your time on here and you are only a child. My youngest is older than you.

One last thing. A good friend of mine from the Wirral had his head blown off fighting in the Falklands war. You can read about him (assuming you read books?) in "The green eyed boys". He was a real hero whose actions won the battle when the officer in charge lost it. Please don't insult his memory by belittling the forces because most if not all of you haven't the guts to join. Medical reasons excepted of course.

No ones ganging up on you old timer, everyones just expressing their views on the matter.

We are not enemies on here, most people are respectable citizens, maybe you should move your ass and come meet us someday then you will have some retrospective view of what we are all like.

Being a self employed builder mate, I can assure you I have many a life experience, dealing with shitty customers, and thiefing labourers, and other so called trades men. Workin in the cold and the dirt , with dangerious tools that are cold to handle. You dont see me goin on strike.............

The hole point of this thread is for opinions about them stiking, you know what my, and the majority of other peoples opinions is here, just because you dissagree there is no need to go on the rampage and start offering people out.

And no one is bad mouthing the army, I was saying that they are well with in their rights to strike over their hash conditions........the posties arn't.

No-one once in this thread has said anything negative about the Armed Forces. They are something to be very very proud of. Unlike the Postal Service. Which profession did you prefer btw Morseman, Armed Forces or mailman?
