Am I right in saying that most of M*****e allegedly worked during the strikes, if so, is that why they still have a night shift.!!!!!

That sound's bad but maybe you could do with the extra money at this time of year, if not dont do it then they cannot force you to work over your time.

IPS from 6.15 till about 8, then on a walk I've hardly thrown out before being taken the piss out of by blokes throwing the same one walk off for years, wondering why I'm not as fast as them. I cover about 40 walks, they cover 1.

I had about 9 or 10 bags today, but the weight in lighter due to lot less catalogue, brochure, magazines. Finished in similar time but later as I have to deal with 3 sack of packets and incredible I deliver all of them. Now if we could cut down christmas cards and packets :(

All I can say to that is you must have a pretty cushy number there Margate Postman.

For me: In at 0600. Left office at 1015 back at office at 1500 :oops: (This is without a meal relief or weighing the bags.)

I see you ask Margie.. If he is Joking????

When the real Question is "ARE YOU JOKING FLYINGPOSTMAN?"

As after all the time and strikes and debate about NOT CARRYING OVERWEIGHT BAGS OR if going over your time book O/T.
And you do neither then YOU ARE A JOKE PAL...

Now we who have been posting on here a while know Margie and his little "Q's" And "WHINED UPS" But in this he is only working to his office and amount of work he gets... Ohhh but its Margie so he MUST STILL COME IN EARLY OR USE HIS MOTOR OR CUT THE JOB UP OR TAKE THE PISS OUT OF OTHERS WHO CANT FINISH ON TIME BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT OF WORK... ????????

Tell me Margie my old nemisis....

I luv ya really you silly old buffer....



ENTER MARGIE...... :cuppa
