I've heard reports from several staff in recent weeks that they have done legit overtime and not been paid....maybe it's to pay for these "prizes" :hmmmm

I'd suggest you can more easily flog one of those, but have a look at eBay - the market is saturated. My favourite was the one where the picture was taken on the frame still in its plastic wrapping. No sign of hesitation in the thirty seconds it must have been in his or her possession. Pretty ballsy not to blur the streetnames too.

I asked not to be involved, so not to cause any embarrassment, good to see a few posties in our office refusing the cheap tat, then on the other hand a good few posties getting over involved & excited 🤡
