The AA patrol staff are not going to be on a strike after all. They wanted to, but didn't after all, when new proposals were put forward for their pensions. The leaders of the AA talked about striking come May, if there were no changes to their pension scheme. According to them, changes were needed to maintain viability. Alistair Maclean, secretary of the IDU, said an agreement could be reached.
Wow, the English people's version of Alcoholics Anonymous is definately something else, compared to the Dutch version. They have strikes and even are able to somehow have a...pension? Should I ever decide to become an alcoholic, then I certainly know in which country I wanna get shitfaced! I'm not sure what this IDU is, but it sounds pretty serious. It could possibly stand for Irresponsible Drunks United, who knows! This raises another question, why would England have TWO organizations people can go to when they can't say no to that second shot of whisky?
If you were a drunk, would you go to the IDU or the AA?

Mitchel,
BeantwoordenVerwijderenA couple of issues here. This article is hardly long enough to summarise first of all. Secondly you have misunderstood AA. It is not, I'm sorry, for alcoholics Anonymous, but infact the AA Services which is a breakdown and recovery patrol. You also missed what IDU stands for, which is contained in the article: "Independent Democratic Union". Your reaction, is far too colloquial. Avoid contractions, "wanna" is not grammatically correct English and "shitfaced" is hardly appropriate! Though this exercise is online you still need to take it seriously.
