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.

Unlikely.
Doorstep scanning of every parcel is RM's target in the next couple of years.
And delivery staff are the most important and largest group within the business to achieve this.
