Maybe he meant the Royal Marines rather than the Royal Mail? Though having said that, it occurs to me that once of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AjeaDtE_a8M could be rather useful for some of the farm tracks I end up going down!

I heard that during the infamous "5 hour meeting" absolutely nothing was said, it was all done using telepathy and the occasional hand gesture.

It is deafening apart from the crunching of management chomping on biscuits and the one handed hand strike of a deal whistling through thin air but if a bee farts you will be the first to know on here!

Accepting the natural hunger for more information, it would be inappropriate and out with the protocols of the mediation process to give more detail at this stage.
And so it starts...
Anyway I heard we're giving away our Christmas bonus to be replaced by nectar points? Anyone confirm?

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.
