A) A subaru forester
OR
B) a Renault Traffic
It'll be interesting to see how many of these own vehicles are still being used come Xmas and beyond.
Royal Mail should be providing the means of transporting the mail and delivering it, not the individual worker. The problem is the worker with his own transport is benefiting big time in our office by being given all the extra bits that are left over and being generally treated as premier class compared to the non-driver or driver with no vehicle of his own available.
What's the point
What do I need to use me car
Dont claim overtime do it for nothing
Come In Early as well for nothing I Expect
Can you cram in some lapsed hours for nothing aswell
But, ok 80% of my office do it aswell it will make my job easier
What's the bl###dy point days on end spent on the line fighting for jobs and you get planks that want the above get a grip " I'm a postman get me outta hereeeeeeeeeeeeee"

Cracking idea Are we all self employed now and does the van count as tax deductable? How on earth am I going to afford that private pension and sick plan on these wages?Then there's the accountants fees,and The insurance. Still if I make an hour or two a day I can always moonlight as a banker

Well either that or you could join the tories and campaign for some tax cuts. Should be able to afford it all then. the market will provide.
More good thinking, and when I can afford to put £60,000 a year into my private pension the social will give me £800 a week out of taxpayers money to top it up . It is funny when you think about,Crozier and leighton getting paid millions and at the same time getting an £800 giro every week

One of our guys did actually sell his car and buy a small van becuse he could not get all the mail in.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
I'm thinking of getting one of these, somewhere to prep too and have a pee and a break (not to mention somewhere to sleep because that's all we'll be doing).

That's genius DGP...a mobile D.O...you could park up overnight at the M/C and get your sequenced while it's still hot,sort it on the way to your first delivery point and robert's your mothers brother...job done.
Where's that suggestion box...there must be money in this.
