it will be an interesting day on wednesday. public sector workers are set to go on strike. this will include the UKBA.
so i reckon, if you are going to exceed your allowances, then wednesday is the day.
make the most of it, and good luck. 
All the traffic info boards near Oxford are warning of demo in city centre. If I have to go into city then the nkers wont get a toot of support from meā¦
Will our friends at VOSA be working?
WEDNESDAY IS TACHO FREE DAY!
And because some of the schools are closed because of it, Im not working 
Interestingly Vosa have not been in Portsmouth terminal to greet my arrival on a Sunday morning for 2 years 5 months and 3weeks but they were there today which was a surprise,then I remembered the forthcoming strike and assumed this was them ensuring taking a day off for industrial action will not actually be a financial burden.
All truck drivers should be striking on the same day!
Work more, for longer and get less at the end of it??
I donāt blame 'em!
One day strike? Just a day day off to some 
IT SHOULDāVE BEEN A MONTH OF SOLID STRIKES!!

We should have all worked harder at becoming devious slimebags in our formative years and become MPs or the like.Then,work less for fewer years,and get a lot more at the end.All at our expense.

All my working life all Iāve ever heard from the bosses is that the working man needs to work harder for less money. The day they take their own advice is the day i might listen to that claptrap! As for you āworkingā people who are against workers trying to hold onto what little they have you make me ā ā ā ā ā ā ā puke!
Even with the new deal they still have a seriously better pension than the private sector, and if you retire in the next 10 years the new deal doesnāt effect you!
Im sorry a lot of time i can empathise with strikers but ive got a real distaste for this one.
Actually im thinking it will be a good day on Wednesday, no schools usually means light traffic.

What he said. Iāll support the public sector on the day they support driversā demands for a 40 hour week, inflation-proof pension, as many sick days due to āstressā as they can comfortably achieve, etc. Not before.
I was going to strike, but is the government going to listen - NO!
A lot of public sector workers will be in the pub Tuesday night then I take it.
EVERY Working person should be out on strike, and I mean Everyone apart from these corporate and parliamentary money grabbers.
They expect everyone to cut back and work more for less, Why? Oh so they can take a bit more of the pot away from the common worker
I wonder when I am allowed to get Holiday Pay or Sick pay, apart from Stat sick pay, Probably never at this rate, and the DPC well forget it, I cant afford to pay for that myself at the moment, then medical in a few years, oh I have to pay again, Im fed up of wondering When I will be at work.
I just want a full time job which allows me to have weekends off due to childcare and 2 years fighting for my son so that I have him those weekends, Sadly most places want like Tuesday to Sunday drivers, Ok then, when would i spend quality time with my son??
Sorry for the rant, tbh, I am Fād off with England, greedy corporations and a incompetent government

Most workers cannot afford to have a day off
