MAIL UP!

Post by Guvnor273 »

"Mail up!"

Just wondering if anyone else uses this phrase when the mail arrives off the van? At my office there always seems to be a mass chorus of "Mail Ups!"

A bit like this you mean?

It does leave an interesting slant for potential Royal Mail advertisements. A normal delivery office, a few ordinary seeming drivers just doing normal stuff, then all of a sudden one of them screams 'Mail Up, it's the code word' and they break into dance.

You envisioned it here first.

its amazes me how so many offices seem the same throughout the country, I thought it was just my office that employed selfish lazy buggers that think about themselves only and dont give a toss about helping out.

Nope that sounds like my office, the worst bunch of back stabbing b@stards i've ever worked with during my 48 years working in various industries.
p.s. the worst management as well. :cuppa :cuppa :cuppa

i know doms like the early work for fre culture within royal mail - but do they really respect them as the time they served as a postman - they maybe hated the ones that came in early ..... mind u probably didnt happen much in the 70's
