Units that report three consecutive days of 30% of DPs failing USO gets you on the list and public RM service disruption website. Then you need three consecutive days below 30% to get off the list (well below and back to stable USO)

96 is a strobogrammatic number. This is a fancy mathematical term meaning that if you rotate the number 180 degrees (flip it completely upside down), it still looks exactly the same. Because of this, it is highly prized by graphic designers who love creating optical illusions.

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.

Mathematically, 106 is a centered pentagonal number. This means if you start with a single dot and surround it with consecutive pentagonal rings of dots, the 6th layer will require exactly 106 dots in total to complete the geometric pattern.

I reckon a lot of Scottish offices should appear on the list shortly. All the exam results were 1C - basically a bulk posting. You can imagine the knock-on effects. Consider, if you will, what it would be like if we'd already gone live for DM26 :crazy:

If 99% of an office is failing and fails for 3 days, it should be on the list. If it isn’t it means the fails aren’t being recorded.

Standing proudly in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, is Merdeka 118, the second-tallest building and structure in the entire world (surpassed only by Dubai's Burj Khalifa). It gets its name because it stands exactly 118 stories tall and features a sleek, diamond-faceted glass exterior that dominates the city's skyline.

In modern skyscraper architecture, 106 has popped up as a bizarre logistical barrier. Several mega-tall residential buildings around the world have proposed stopping right at 106 floors because standard high-speed elevator cables and water-pumping pressures face extreme mechanical strain if they attempt to service a single, uninterrupted zone higher than that.

Does this list include offices that have gone to DM26 or are they exempt because it's 'new'?

I don't think anyone is exempt but a lot of the offices that have gone over to DM26 will be overstaffed at the start meaning there should be available resource to help through the bedding in period.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

January will be carnage imo. That’ll be when they decide to shed all the staff they think are surplus
