Offices 'officially' in trouble?

[Barnacle]

There’s a picture on FB of the inside of Bridgewater DO which is doing DM26 and I would say that the picture shows that fails may not be being recorded correctly

Just seen the picture referred to above , I shouldn't laugh but roll on Christmas

This is the 'Offices 'officially' in trouble' list; if an office is not here, then it's not in trouble according to Royal Mail.
I am now comparing 'Royal Mail's daily list' with 'Royal Mail's offices that have gone live' DM26 list.
Offices in red are in DM26. 'Not found' means the office has not gone into DM26 yet.

If you drive across North America, the UK, or Australia, you will notice that 104.1 or 104.7 are among the most common frequencies for pop music radio stations. In early broadcast history, the 104-megahertz zone was strategically reserved for high-power commercial transmitters because it sits perfectly in the sweet spot of the FM spectrum, minimizing atmospheric static.

96 is a strobogrammatic number. This is a fancy mathematical term meaning that if you rotate the number 180 degrees (flip it completely upside down), it still looks exactly the same. Because of this, it is highly prized by graphic designers who love creating optical illusions.

I have no idea why my office, which has 'gone live' is not on the list. We were not clear when DM26 began, neither were we properly staffed. We are in about as bad a state now.

[Mr Rush]

I have no idea why my office, which has 'gone live' is not on the list. We were not clear when DM26 began, neither were we properly staffed. We are in about as bad a state now.

I've spent a lot of time watching how the service wobbles as it falls into the black hole to peer beyond the event horizon and determine how walk failures are reported. In the brave new world of DM26 I've been trying to figure out if/how the DODR has been amended to handle recording Light side failures.

Presumably before, when every duty was due out, it was all just calculated against the office average callrate whereas now Heavy & Light might have their own distinct averages (50% versus 2%). The latter generating so few additional failed DPs that it's easier just to assume they're all clear for the purpose of reasonably deducing the state of an office.

So let's say half the Heavy walks aren't clearing: 50% @ 50% = 25%. Still limboing under the 30% stick, depending on whether or not packets count toward partial failure.

If, however, we stick with the global office average: (50+2)/2 = 26% x 50% = 13%. That's far below the 30% needed to get on the list.

I have no idea if this might explain things. There's so many variables and every office seems to exist in its own pocket universe.

All I know is that our office is in a far worse state now than it was a year ago and yet we rarely seem to make this list. We are listed as an office that has implemented DM26 although we haven't officially gone live with it so I have no doubt that there is a lot of mis-reporting going on in RM.

The "40" in the iconic blue-and-yellow can of WD-40 stands for a story of scientific persistence. The chemists at the Rocket Chemical Company were trying to create a line of rust-prevention solvents for aerospace parts. It took them exactly 40 attempts to get the secret formula right. The name literally stands for "Water Displacement, 40th Formula.

Every time you watch a movie in a cinema, you are technically watching a very fast slideshow operating on the number 24. In the early days of Hollywood, filmmakers discovered that 24 frames per second (fps) was the absolute minimum speed required for the human brain to perceive fluid, realistic motion instead of a flickering series of still photos. It remains the cinematic standard to this day.
