Thanks for that. Is that exact?? Want to keep an eye on my leave this year. Think i lost out last year.

No never had the chance to buy. Our holiday leave system is a joke at the best of times. Don't want to buy and lose them.

It's a long shot but I'm hoping someone may know the answer before I get all fired up!
To keep it simple, I took voluntary redundancy in 2005 after 20 years and rejoined in 2010. Since I rejoined I have been buying extra leave but according to the Way Forward Agreement "previous periods of PO service may be counted" for the calculation of leave entitlement. Am I being diddled or does taking VR wipe out any right to use previous service to increase my leave?

'Previous service' should be counted yes,VR or not,it's 'previous service'.

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.

Thanks for that. Let's hope so - they'll owe me a fair bit of money and I'm not the only postie who has left and rejoined in our office!
