The posties telling it like it is

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

For a heartfelt, honest explanation from postal staff on why they are striking, look no further than http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, where the posties have set up a site to put their case to customers very reasonably. Still, there's a certain irony in the fact that the site carries advertising from Google including an invitation to check out alternative mail carriers to "beat the postal strike".

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.

The adverts below. Difficult to control but possible.

However the site does not run on oxygen!

I believe, you can change the advervts in the forum admin section, only if your an administrator. But also you may have to pay for this service on some forum hosting pages. What happens is the ads are produced by keywords entered into the forum. So our forum will always pick up on postal ads etc

There are domain reg & hosting fees plus bandwidth which can all add up. The adverts are google adwords I think which are based on keywords automatically pulled from the site by google. Its good to see RMC getting a positive mention too :Very Happy
