Sounds promising! Am worried about protective shoes angard said if u. Have then bring but I don't! Is this compulsory or if you don't have them do RM supply?

RM won't supply them for temps. If you don't have them you won't be able to work in certain areas such as loading bays, but temps don't usually work in these areas anyway.
Just wear comfortable shoes that will give reasonable protection if something falls on your foot or it gets run over by a wheeled container - so no sandals!

Had a look at the Temps' feet today (not something I usually look at!) and none of them were wearing safety shoes. Most wore trainers.
Some Manpower agency staff were also brought in today. And there was an announcement over the tannoy that more Xmas temps were needed at Mount Pleasant, East London Mail Centre and South London Mail Centre, and if any staff could recommend friends or family they should see the Admin Centre. So it seems they are short of staff for Xmas.

I just got a text and an email today saying we would like to offer you the role of christmas casual at the mount pleasant branch. Attached to the email are two documents. But it does not mention anywhere my start/end date and hours????? and my application status says "HIRED AND START DATE AGREED"...weird lol. Has anyone else had that problem?

I believe there are specialist web sites for people with foot fetishes.
If you PM DGP I am sure he can send you a comprehensive list.
