Maclaren pushchair recall leads to minors’ strike
US children today went on strike, after losing their transport privileges. Many simply refused to walk, despite various sugary bribes being offered.
It is believed that many of the children had hoped to form official picket lines, but were not allowed anywhere near lit braziers or to go out on their own in the cold.

Striking postmen finally admit to Lakeland catalogue delivery clause
With the post strike entering its third week of disruption, the CGU has finally admitted that it is duty bound to continue delivering the Lakeland catalogue thanks to a watertight clause in their contracts.
Suspicions were raised when the union started to claim over 100 million items were stuck in the mail backlog, despite clear evidence that Lakeland catalogues were still getting through. Hidden camera footage showing plain clothes postmen casually slipping the catalogues through front doors finally revealed the truth.
“I’d thought there was something fishy when I heard someone whistling tunelessly outside my front door”, revealed the man responsible for the video, Geoffrey Flynn. “A real life postie would never do that these days”.
Mr Flynn went on to add “It makes my blood boil to have to pick up all this junk mail. I just wish there was somewhere I could get some blood pressure scales, a letterbox basket and a personal shredder”.

Safari parks in chaos after wildcat strike
Safari parks across the country were thrown into chaos today as unofficial wildcat strikes spread at rapid speed.
The dispute began after the lions at Whipsnade downed claws in protest at being offered cheaper cuts of raw meat, in a management cost-cutting exercise. As a result, it has been confirmed that the animals would no longer stand around looking surly for the cameras, although a surly-looking group had gathered by the park gates this afternoon for the cameras.
“This is typical of management fatcats”, growled Lionel the Lion, before having to explain to his Lioness that she’d misheard him and her bum didn’t look big at all, “we just want to get back to normal and carry on with our nine lives”.
The park management admitted that the strike had affected days out slightly, but visitors could still enjoy their car aerials being ruined by the gorillas and have their kids witness the stags rutting like, erm, stags.
