It's a crock'o's**t.

All lifted directly from the Royal Mail dealing with local and national press guidance sheet. All he had to do was probably cut and paste the relevant bits.

I used rotate left after right clicking it and saving to my pictures - any image editing application will do . It may also blow it up bigger and make the print sharper . Problem was when after I turned it the right way to see it properly it went back to how it was before when I reuploaded it .

I could have made the file smaller by using the crop tool but it would have meant cutting part of the headline on that clipping .

Some applications give you options i.e. 90 degrees turn , 180 turn etc .

Teebs is right , he's mechanistically parroted the RM script out .

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.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I work in the Hull area and this is obviously a reply to a letter that was sent into the Hull Daily Mail the other week from a postie claiming that mail was being left in his office and not delivered becuase rounds were too long etc. This caused a proper storm in our area with managers in WTL showing us copies of the article in the paper and telling us that who ever had sent it had broken the contract they signed when joining RM, they also said they were trying to find out who had sent it and they would be in big trouble when they do. Obviously the managers in our area have contacted this director and informed him what had been said in the paper etc. and he has decided to reply on RM behalf.

it'll be name and address withheld , the paper won't disclose who sent it , OSA or no OSA , bl**dy paranoid but it does go that way . The only thing RM can try is summary justice on who they suspect :hmmmm . B/S :hmmmm to scare people , they can't prove anything , they are not the Police though they do get into trouble for acting as executioner , judge , jury and the police but that's RM's problem :hmmmm

We'd a " damaging statement " amendment to the rule book prior to privatization , it was a sackable offence , the reason was that reps in that pre internet age were writing too many letters to local rags . Managers would go round saying " We are going to button up your mouth " .

One rep from a moderate union prior to that amendment was put on a charge for a letter printed in a regional paper , that was deemed a disgrace by the union , the rep got a move and was told to never to come back to the area by the personnel manager .

Deja Vue back to the 90's :hmmmm - they don't like it up 'em - hidden behind the OSA for too long :hmmmm



If they did sack someone , there may be protection under the Public Interest Disclosure Act at a IT but look at that nurse who got the sack for whistleblowing ?
