Very anti union then ?
As a administrator, are you supposed to be non judgmental, otherwise how can you deem a reply or post as out of order ?
Now back on topic. My take on this is, if you are asked to work in a different office and you use your own vehicle to get there (I doubt personal car insurance is a problem, as you are still travelling to your place of work), then you can claim the petrol money from your contracted office to the office you have been asked to work in, that includes the travelling back to your contracted office. Also, the time it takes to get there and back is deducted from your contracted hours.

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

Most personal car insurance policy's only cover travel to and from your permanent place of work to travel to another site you normally need to add business insurance. So in fact most personal insurance policy's will not cover you

Commuting
Commuting is the next class up, and covers everything included in Social, Domestic and Pleasure, plus driving to and from a permanent place of work. Driving your car to the train station and leaving it there while you go to work counts as commuting. So does giving someone a lift to their place of work; it's best to check when you get your quote.
Direct Line's Social, Domestic and Pleasure policy cover includes commuting. This allows you to drive to and from a permanent place of work.
By 'permanent' place of work, we mean a single office, site, location or place of work that you intend to travel to for the duration of your contract of employment.
If you are employed, for example, on a 3 month contract and will only be travelling to one location/site/office during the term of your contract, then Social Domestic & Pleasure is sufficient.
Your cover lets you use your car for social, domestic and pleasure purposes, commuting to and from a permanent place of work and personal business use for you and your spouse or partner, if they’re named on the policy.

A manager tried to argue with me when i stated i was not insured fro the 45 min drive to another office and so would need taking and bringing back.After i won that argument he said i should pay for business insurance as its only £6 a year.I said why should i do that and he said because you are a reserve.

Social and commuting – This category of usage allows you to use your vehicle as above but also to travel to and from work. You may not however, use your car in connection with your work. A trip to a client or another office, for example, wouldn’t be covered.

Rule of thumb is volunteers 1st,then reserves.
Is there a particular reason a duty holder is being picked.
And if you're a reserve more senior than a duty holder?
Doesn't matter,volunteers (which tbf could be a duty holder if someone wants it) 1st then reserves,regardless of office seniority.

There is an upside to working in other Offices! Especially if you've got a crap contract that doesn't give you enough hours to pay the bills. And sometimes the other office may even be better than yours! Decent duties that can be done in the duty time, well laid out frames, good idiots guides, list of building codes, correctly labelled keys NICE PEOPLE......etc.
If you're in a really crappy office it can be a nice change to see how the other half live. Just make sure you keep records as overtime can become a problem if you're moving between offices. And if you do use your car (current comments acknowledged) make sure you claim Traveling Allowances at the correct (Higher) rate. It's not taxable so can add quite a bit to your wage packet. You could try and get the traveling time paid as overtime as well, although a lot of Managers will only offer you the choice of Traveling Time or Traveling Allowance. Take the Allowance it normally works out better in your favour!
