If true, this is very sad :crazy: , I would not be happy if a delivery driver knocked on my door on christmas day, it's one day of the year when life for most becomes very special and treasured by the family and should not be stopped for any financial incentive, shame on Royal Mail , Shame on anyone who goes into work. :no no :no no

Some people might be happy to get their sons/daughters delayed pressie, not sure on this one.

Not going in though and not working over my time tomorrow :cool
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Great, if I get asked to work tomorrow, I have a starting point for negotiations....£35p/h and I'll demand a FT contract backdated to start of Xmas pressure ( I'm not into Crimbo at all - it's too commercialised, plus when the telly has a truely captive audience, there's about 5% gold, 10% silver, & 85% shite! ). So yes, if asked, I would work tomorrow - but for nothing less than a fat sack of cash AND a FT contract
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

I, personally, couldn't because I'm too excited about Christmas as it is.

If I was single though and not near my family, then I'd seriously consider it.
