How do you manage to do your walk Raikky at 98 years of age. Grievance normally takes about two years with Royal Mail.

Not knowing the full details it's difficult to advise but still being employed is not normally a barrier to lodging an Employment Tribunal claim, Also beware the time bar.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

You haven't given the exact details but it is possible to go to a Tribunal claiming unfair dismissal from your contract while still at work but this may not apply in your case.
