Engineers are human,just like posties and everyone else (obviously managers are exempt from this).There are good,bad and downright useless engineers,operators etc.Anyway most IMP/LSM operators are more than capable of most engineering tasks,as im sure tman is well aware.... :Very Happy

"Most"? Only an operator could ever speak like that, so no, I'm "not aware.." :whistle

Funny though, the CWU agreed way back in the early TPM days that operators would never use any sort of tool as they would then be personally liable for damage or injury caused by accident or misuse.

Just like DO blokes using cars on delivery, there's always some who ignore the rules for an easy life.

{Not that I mind.....ham-fists cause much more work that neglect, and more work means more jobs.. :whistle }

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Maybe some operators get fed up calling the engineers over and over again,to be greeted with silence.......who knows? :hmmmm

It's to tighten the screws that hold the paddles in on the LSM's that's all.. ALWAYS done when the big RED button is pushed in....

Belt changing, and ALL other stuff is done by the Engineers...
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.

The ILSM we do, the LSM's, no.
