Do you think by adding a name it will make you feel better or change this persons actions ??? No so stop the name calling .

As for saving 10 minutes or 20 at a stretch .......... rubbish . I come in at 9am and pass guys who have been standing waiting on a driver for at least 15 minutes . I bag up and leave around 9.30 am and the SAME guys are STILL standing there waiting ( although not always but MOST of the time )

Now if i never had the car I would have to leave earlier in the morning costing me 15 minutes . Bag up im out for 9.30 am . The guys waiting before me are taken out 1st and i am waiting at least 30 minutes . 15 and 30 = 45 minutes saved so far . Now if i take my own bags etc I dont have to wait 15 minutes for my 1st bag . Another 15 minutes saved .

Thats now at least 1 hour ive saved and when ive finished my duty its either a half hour walk or 15 minute walk for the bus and another 20 minutes ON it . Thats AN HOUR AND A HALF I SAVE AT LEAST EVERY DAY ! ! ! Do you want me to change and work 1 and a half hours per day JUST SO YOU ARE HAPPY ? ? ? Get lost !

I welcome your comments which im sure will be arriving soon .
That's 90 minutes of extra delivery you should be doing then, working your hours came in in 2007 so any savings you make should be used by RM to improve efficiency. :chuckle

Absolute genius.now why couldnt i have thought of that!! Lets save more time so royal mail can hammer us even more.

What a shame it would be if youre walk was next to be lapsed.

maybe then you would see things from another point of view!

You will work to youre time eventually ,believe me and the others on this sight.

just keep doing it ,but remember its our jobs youre sacrificing ,one by one.

strange you took offence about the name calling,im sorry about that :Sick

Never took offence . I ponted out it was POINTLESS namecalling cause it does no good so get your facts right .

If I get more and more and more work so be it ...... I work to my time end of . ITS NO BIG DEAL ! ! Its an extra half an hour . And IF I get loads more work then I get the drivers to take me out THEREFORE LESS WORK ! ! ! It aint rocket science .

I can drive but do not own a car and when did, I flatly refused to use it for duty, as people pointed out. MY money on petrol and repairs and the insurance covers you for nothing so if you have a accident in a private car while working, its YOU who pays the premium.

Yeah its smart . People do look at me as if to say " why the fk are you working here " when they see me drive in every day .

Its not showing off . Why shouldnt I be able to buy expensive things if i can afford them ?? It might put some peoples noses out of joint but jealousy is a nasty thing that some people cant seem to help . Doesnt bother me in the slightest so I have put the tin hat away and im ready for the flak .

Very true and if your car gets broken into and damaged you also get a WARNING which stays on record for 5 years :no no

So you think by saving a hour and half using car, you wont mind getting more work put on you? but if you do then youll get the driver to take you out and youll have less work? you think walks change to suit people like you?

No probs with the car buddy why should a postman not have a nice car /house etc as we all work hard enough for it.

In fact one of our guys had a £70k Merc sports car (iam really not kidding) which was all earned through overtime and then more overtime. :shock:

euhm as I've said before. I work indoors for more than half my shift! My 260 or so houses takes me an hour and a half whether I take my car or not. Doesn't cost me extra petrol as it's on my way home. By the time I finish, it's time to pick the wean up from school. Should I be thinking of my colleagues here? Maybe, but I'm sorry to say, I think more of my child's health than my colleagues as many of you do too. I'm sure if many of you were in my position you would use your cars too.

The only benefits are that I don't need to go back to the office when finished and don't need to wait for transport. It benefits my manager by about 5 minutes of not getting bags dropped off.

Well the old banger is due it's MOT next week, so probably will be relying on my legs and the ambulance service should it be required, but I won't slate people for using their cars when there may or may not be external factors that you may or may not know about.
