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 hope that the Mail Centres are looking out for this.

So does that mean that they're deliberately putting it into the system or is it done "in error", and also how long has this been going on then?

Just on this, Is it not against the rules to be taking photographs inside RM buildings?

I'm not sure but I think there's a post-thread on here about that very subject. Either on here on on the Facebook page, I saw it the other day but can't recall where though.
But on a different note, what has taking photos got to do with DSA - Direct Delivery Mail?

In the Courier, on both the page Postman's article came from and a few pages later, it recommends taking photographs of your frame to keep tabs on how direct competition is impacting on mail volume. Was always under the impression that was a big no no?

I think the idea is to show you graphically the before and after of the introduction of Direct Delivery.
It shows you how much mail you have lost (and consequently so you understand why you are lapsing more duties)

Though I am no expert in the field, I think the taking of pictures is allowed, it is posting them elsewhere which is a big no-no.
You take the photos so YOU can see the difference, and you don't post them on Facebook so the whole world can see how much s**t we are in (and watch the share price tumble)
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down.

It says count the items of mail and take before and after shots. I did that. There was no difference whatsoever after I'd counted them.
