Default " Royal Mail swaps bikes for guns"


Piece at the BBC website on the charity Re-Cycle, who are running a
guns for bikes swap scheme in Liberia.

Sounds like a bloody good idea to me. I wonder if it would work in
Manchester and Nottingham?

I think in Manchester the posties would be quite happy to swap their
Pashleys for an Uzi. Oh, hang, on...that's not what you meant, is it?

I'm not too happy about the Royal Mail arming its posties. Have they
really thought this through?
