woolybanana Posted December 4, 2009 Share Posted December 4, 2009 Road hauliers' unions are talking of a strike to begin on the 13th December and to last right over the festive season into January. Their targets are specifically supermarkets and other festive season relevant outlets, with the aim of causing the maximum and discontent possible. The issue is, of course, MONEY, what else.So, perhaps the odd candle and can of baked beans in reserve might be caled for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
