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 also have some that RM supplied which have like strips of rubber on the inside.

I have to wear whole gloves, not these silly bastard gloves that leave you with frost-bitten nubs on the end of your fingers.

Treat yourself to a pair of these, one size fits all, made from merino wool.Since using them, I wouldn't even go back to using RM gloves. http://www.noahsark.co.uk/seal-skinz-th ... -5479.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

When I delivered to Primark I noticed they do 2 pairs of fingerless gloves for a £1.

They do seem a bit crappy though - also this seller seems too come from a joke shop - hence the name of gloves = magic gloves :left:

:sad: Problem is when you have lots of gates to open and shut, the gloves soon get soaked through. :sad: :sad: :sad:

I also found that they tended to unravel at the ends and catch on gate latches, they were cheap crap essentially.

I use a leather, fingerless, gym glove on my right hand and, in the cold, a ski or cycling glove on my right.
