Firstly where is the swings n roundabouts thing there? They are due me hours so if ive something planned outside r mail hours ive gotta be bullied into doin overtime every day ? Secondly theres only bout 4 of us in an office of near 150 who actually do the job right start at our time no cars etc,because were doing it properly like that, its showing that we are not getting out on time. WE are looking the bad guys cause were no coming in early ,the place would be shafted if we all sarted at our normal times. So from now on i cant plan anything outside of my r mail hours in case were over ! Why the fk do we put up with this .


I`m no expert but unless hes bringing the rest of the workforce back to work their time i`d say you have a case of victimisation on your hands? Does`nt sound fair to me. Oh yeah, in my time delivered to quite alot of famous faces, Timothy Dalton, Daley Thompson, Vanessa Redgrave, Richard Briers, Toyah, Phillip Schofield, Sarah Greene, Moira Stewart, Midge Ure, John Thaw, theirs plenty more too.

Actually we have an old thread from when RMC started at (POSTMAN:Topics merged) some interesting and funny posts on it as well.

10 Pages long though so you may be gone for some time.

I deliver many, many packets to gap-toothed, scraggle-bearded dole-scrounging serial rapist man, but I'm guessing he's not the type you're after.

There are no interesting people in Cambuslang.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Nothing from me, but a colleague used to deliver to Jeff Beck ( for the young 'uns http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Beck" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; ), and says that he is genuinely nice bloke and is down to earth "...oh, and by the way, did I ever tell you I used to deliver to Jeff Beck :chuckle :wink: "

In another lifetime as a despatch courier, I had a packet for Sophie Ellis Bextor ( about 9 months after Groovejet )....but she wasn't in, so I had to post it - that's as close as I've got to a famous autograph on the job. :neutral:
