Schools fine people for taking their kids out of school a few days early, prior to a school holiday, so they can take it out of that.

The only problem with that is when the Auditor comes round and asks why there is mail on top of the frame unendorsed and your answer is "it's for the school" - well good luck with that little anecdote.

Is call collect not still free, all the schools in our area used to set one up just before the holidays, and the school secretary would come in every couple of days to collect it.

You've got that right. In our case it's the street nearest the office that enjoys a free unrequested keepsafe for all its residents.

I was doing absorption on another nearby street one time at about 2.15pm and some punter asked me why the mail was late, given that he lived so near to the DO and he "usually got his mail in the morning." I explained that I'd already done a full round and that where he lived was on an absorbed round (I explained it without using RM jargon of course) and that living near the DO ironically meant you were likely to get your mail much later than a street several miles away.

Such is the crazy topsy-turvy world of RM in 2014.

The schools on the other hand could institute a call and collect during the summer holidays if any of them could be arsed to pick it up once a week :cuppa

Ain't it strange how Ofcom can treat TNT differently though?? Royal Mail are still trying to stop them cherry picking their own selective customers!!
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

Why?
Because the normal workload is too high , then absorption on top makes it impossible to do, therefore it is left in the frame . We are talking very high levels of absorption ,100+ extra points for everybody. Management by crisis ,crisis by management.

What do you do with the tray? The Auditor doesn't restrict the time of his visit.
