They shouldn't be doing it full stop. Business insurance isn't enough.

Or for a bit of fun 'phone the Police and report them as stolen or stalking young children ...... and let them explain to the nice policeman why they are delivering post in a private car without insurance :shock:

Surely the question should be "Why are managers out on delivery, doing postmens work?" Does that not prove that there aren't enough hours for the opg's in the office? And more to the point, why is the union standing for it?

Based on the managers' attitude at our office, it is because all the posties are lazy-good-for-nothing sods and the managers are all wonderful and are bailing them out again.
Royal Mail
failing the workforce, failing the public and deliberately failing mail on a daily basis for too many years.

Grest for the company image - some fat bloke delivering your post wearing primark attire in a vauxhall insignia. Emailing moya should get it sorted

The previous managers in the office slashed hours to the bone, got their bonus, and then skipped merrily away?

Have noticed there has been a spate of customer complaints recently. How many of them have been because managers are now back on the streets I wonder? Who counsels and conducts them?? The DOM :chuckle
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.
