The Outer Hebrides Gas Meter Reading Branch are a militant lot. Mess with them and you are likely to find a haggis's head in your bed.

Is DIY becoming a closed shop? Do we all have to join?

[Frank Erskine]

Don't give John Prescott ideas...

Richard Cranium, Lord Hall, etc, are after everyone to join their uk.d-i-y Lunatic Association. I want nothing to do with this, but reserve the right for others to join.

Well, being the founder member - and *sole* member for that matter - of the Drivel Lunatic Association, you don't have to, do you?

[Doctor Drivel]

You are not. Richard Cranium founded it. How are your yellow CA boots?

As with any union, a lot is likely to depend on the local reps. I`m with the GMB (used to be with the EETPU (sp?), but changed quickly - along with a lot of my colleagues - when two were wrongly accused of theft. They were asked to attend a police station to give statements and were both arrested on arrival.

One was left high and dry by their union ("its a civil matter, we're not interested") - whereas the lad with the GMB got a lot of support / access to the union solicitor etc.

[Set Square]

I never said I was! I was referring to *you* as the founder member of the

*Drivel* Lunatic Association - that's different in case you hadn't noticed.

I know nothing about yellow boots - do you?

Most unions are the same. If you are all in one at your place of work and it is the same union then there is safety in numbers.

Hows your fuel pump driven speedo? Does it work as well as your magnetic water softener? And your hacksaw for jointing plastic pipes?

I'll leave our dear readers to work out who is the lunatic on this group...

What? Telling it as it is when you talk s**te?

BTW, how is the treatment for the feet fetish going?

[Doctor Drivel]

Yes, that is correct, a graphical display of the psyche of the uk.d-i-y Lunatic Association by its founder.
