Seems to me that every day is heavy at the moment with Flats. Holiday brochures, some the size of telephone books, and sometimes three identical to the same household. I now notice MNM Sports seem to be bombarding households with multi catalogues too!

errrrr i would of thought it's summin to do with the backlog!
Tuesdays will be pants for a while then it will level out,as a rule and we've been on 5-45 starts Tuesday should not be any different.

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.

Yeah, it's been bad the last few weeks. Finished at 15:30 yesterday, although I was on a duty I hadn't done before.
