I have just had another random postman deliver next door's mail through 
to me. I am guessing that these are untrained strikebreakers. One would 
think they could find some literate people amongst the ranks of the 
unemployed. Perhaps no-one else is willing to scab for NMW.

    local sewage overflow

They are agency workers. Desperate. Ours doesn't speak any English at 
all, comes from Africa, and can be seen still wandering around the 
street with post at 7pm. Poor sod.

He shouldn't be in employment if he can't speak English.  Bloody hell, 
he shouldn't even be in the country.
