Hi. Ive read online that postal workers are exempt from isolation after being on holiday abroad, is this a fact?

Fully vaccinated – amber list – if you are fully vaccinated under an approved vaccination programme you do not need to quarantine or take a COVID-19 test on day 8.

Red list countries

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.
