There has been some confusion.
While many believe the largest shareholder in RM is Daniel Kretinsky (the Czech Sphinx) it is in fact Nikolay Krestinsky (Russian: Никола́й Никола́евич Крести́нский; 13 October 1883 ) was a Russian Bolshevik revolutionary and Soviet politician who served as the Responsible Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

So Postman has reached 30 000 posts. Congratulations.
TBT is on over 66 000. So some way to go before he catches the leader.

I don't know how many I have really got because so many were lost in the canteen debacle.

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.

So I received my England v USA women's footie tickets today from my lovely postwoman.
I noticed on the back of the envelope that the return address was PO box 1966

I also hazard a guess that the 'other' home nations do not have a PO box address.

I would imagine for Scotland it would be PO box 1967.
The year Celtic became the first British team to win the European Cup.
The year Scotland went to Wembley and ripped the pure pish out of the newly crowned World Champions.

I am hoping that Simon Thompson's Christmas card this year features the 3 kings having to scan in to enter the manger.

Sometimes, it isn’t as simple as cutting someone out when we can see they aren’t good for us.
Maybe their behaviour is toxic, feels narcissistic, or you’ve just had enough of the drama they bring to your life.
But when they’re a family member, in your friendship group, or a colleague at work, you can’t always just block and delete.
It’s time to try grey rocking.

Psychologists, such as a W. Keith Campbell and Holly Richmond, recommend this as a route to dealing with negative people you can’t quite get rid of.
Grey rocking is making yourself as similar as possible to a lifeless, boring grey rock – uninteresting, uneventful.
The idea being that you bore them off and they get tired of you.

How does it work?

Engage with the toxic person at a limited level, if at all, and when you do, keep things ‘nonemotional and nondramatic’.
This will come as a shock to the targetted person, because it’s often not how we meet toxic behaviour – people tend to react.
This can be particularly effective when there’s issues of jealousy, controlling qualities and manipulation at play.
Anything designed to get a rise out of you, this can be a good deterrent against.

Disengaging – or ‘grey rocking’ – leaves the abuser devoid of attention, and eventually they might get tired of their interactions with you.
