Following the wave of strikes we thought we'd join in as well today. We've got a few tyres burning in the drive, (a great way of saving ourselves a trip to the tip) sadly we won't be paid for our day of action which seems grossly unfair. Our picket line is (with the addition of the cats) 4 long, the dog may join us later. We're striking on the grounds that self employed people have to work ridiculously long hours to keep their heads above water & also because it's damp outside & somewhat cold so we don't see why we should bother. We won't be able to strike for long as we won't be able to pay for any food or bills but a morning seems a strong possibility. Yours Sid & Laura
