I was going to do two rows of the frame today every house to finish the buggers as i am off tom. However my rest day cover said to leave any where i am not going (it was a bit light being a tue) so thats what i did and he will pick most of them up on Weds. :nana
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

As far as i'm aware it's a minium of 16% per day so if someone's willing to do 20% say and not have to do them on a Sat, whats the problem? As long as you leave your floater his/her 16%..

You shouldn't have 6 yet,they have to be trialled 1st.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Got them today, and a pizza leaflet and an A$ sized piece of nonsense. 3 different sizes, all flimsy as hell, and no room in the frame for mail. (We prep all d2d on a Monday, instead of lapsing :crazy: )
Any sailor would have been mortified to hear the amount of cursing that was going on this morning.

Quick question, As a result of prepping all d2d on a Monday in place of lapsing do you lapse extra rest of week
