The Courier is full of usefull and accurate information about our great company.
To suggest its just a propoganda outlet is shocking.

This is the magazine that said it does not take any longer to knock on several doors to deliver a parcel .
Lots of people like the revisions and love finishing later.
Van share is great. Stood at the side of the van waiting for your partner in the rain.
Lots more over the years and they expect us to believe it.
What next. Please don't go on strike as its very naughty.
Never read in the courier about bullying and harassment from managers and how they are going to stop it. :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

Never hear any stories about getting dog s**t on the trolley wheels and into the van/on the bags.
Loved the picture of the bloke happily loading his 3 shiny new bags of mail into his Van share.

I think you might have a point there, has there ever been any Managers named and shamed in the papers for wrongdoings or is it only ever delivery posties that have been caught doing bad things that get published in the papers?!!

Or an episode where they have gone through their revision and it puts a strain on his marridge because he likes to get his round done and does the overtime, but he isn't getting home till 5 in the evening and then isn't getting the proper amount of overtime you could see masood rushed off his feet with a full bag a proper bundle and a park and loop partner, parcels he can't get delivered because no one is in and trying to deliver to neighbours.

Hang on a minute there stamped - it is London and 5 past 1 isn't exactly evening - but the overtime situation may be close to the mark because they are no longer paying 8 hrs for 30 mins OT :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle As for the marriage - she's sick of him hanging round the house :whistle

surprised no one has mentioned the fact that its layout and general presentation is that of a teenage magazine. How much money is wasted on sending out this crap ?
