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.

Only do the work you are paid to do in the time you are paid to do it in.
Do not exceed the speed limit as the business will NOT pay your fines or take your points.
Always remember that you are only a number,and you can and will be replaced.
Work safely and be mindful of others.
DO NOT RUSH.
If you are feeling under the weather,and are struggling to get to work,,use the sickness procedure,
Remember,,NO ONE can force you to come into work if you are genuinely unwell.
It comes to something when our employer mentions how much it costs to go sick,
The cemetery is FULL of dead heroes.
