Royal Mail sites hit by downtime cock-up

Someone's going to get the sack

Royal Mail’s three main websites have been unavailable since last night, forcing millions of customers to get used to the taste of glue while guessing where their registered post might be.

Blighty’s national postal service currently has no on line facility. Instead, customers attempting to gain web access to Royal Mail are greeted with a static status page about the downtime.

It reads: “Our website is temporarily unavailable. Full service should be resumed very soon. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause you.â€
Two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the universe.

RMC founder wasshisname would like to issue a 'No comment' statement. :nervous






Discalmer:I was in bed when all this happened.
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.

Yes, I am led to believe that this might be the first of many such instances you may be hearing about in the near future.

I understand that up to 50% of the IS department has been removed and are slowly being replaced by contractors and external people. None of whom have any idea of the business or how it operates. This doesn't seem to be common knowledge yet but the union are aware and have done....nothing !

Royal Mail delivers changes
“Transform to surviveâ€
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
