We had a dim support who did all the overtime, work 65 hours a week. He was genuinely useless. Rumour has it he and his parter once was out till 9:30pm doing very little like usual, he did the office ot so got paid every minute. Nice guy actually.

Re: Whats the longest day you have worked as a postman?
When I used to do the RLE, I sometimes opened the office just before 5am and then locked it up again not long after 6pm ish. Did that for 3 weeks at one point. I also used to work at an office 28 miles away as a supervisor and in 2010 when we had the bad snow, it took me 4 hours to get home. I set off for work before 6am, got home about 7pm.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?
