Our local DO's are panicking about something, as every office is now having a sweep every day to ensure there's no 1c or NHS letters left in the frames and if there is posties are getting pulled up and told to ensure it's delivered in the future. If there's was nothing the Government could do I assume they wouldn't be panicking?
This is to do with quality measures
Not the NHS stuff sent DSA. That's purely public relations damage limitation.
Any Questions?
Yeah, how do I get out of this chickenshit outfit?

Some DSA is now 1C. Locally only a few DOs get their priority NHS letters extracted by the machines.

So is our office. But we’ve been told to take them for a drive. Don’t care if they’re delivered or not, just want them out of the office.
That's because they are frightened of senior management turning up to do the random checks as happened at one of our local DO's. I doubt they'd be impressed if they were told postie's weren't delivering them.

Could have been recorded 4 years ago and we wouldn’t have noticed a difference. Same issues, same talking points, same dodgy Dave blabbering into a laptop. None of its going to change. It’s actually really boring at this point.
I've been retired seven years now and big Dandy Dave was spouting the same pish
then :whistle and no-one believed him then you couldn't give him a red neck with
a blowtorch...........money for nothing Eh Dave ?

Random ones might be test letters with the RFID tags in them so "taking them for a drive" could just as easily get the DO into trouble as well.
