Hi Woofwoof, No floater is not up anyone R's and no I'm not having a F'in laugh as you put it. It's just the way it is in our office. The union is strong in our place and we don't take any of it from any of them.

Clearly :wink:these advertisers make a rational cost benefit analysis and mass random mailings deliver the goods.Logic dictates that any drop in delivery costs will enable RM to offer lower prices and as a consequence the volume of D2D mail will increase in proportion to the cost reduction/benefit increase
Never thought of it that way. Good point.
The bad news ? Volumes of D2Ds look set to rise steeply.
The good news ? With a brain like yours, you will never get a job as a Royal Mail manager :angel

Thanks for saying I would never get a job as a manager as thats the last thing I do want. I can't see what that has to do with the subject of D2D though.

One of the interesting discrepancies of this deal is that the floater will always have D2D on a saturday but the dutyholder will not. :hmmmm
In our office floater is part time so not only is he doing saturdays he's getting paid less for it

Not if the floater does not work Saturday. Another way round it though is to rotate the day off so it evens it out for all including the floater
