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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
Things have changed. When I got mine after 15 years, they sent me a form asking if I intended to go to the awards dinner. Apparently they sit a manager at your table. As if I'm going to have a pint with some goon who is trying work me into an early grave. Absolutely no chance of me turning up, and I have to say none of the four of us who qualified went. They sent another form with a list of gifts asking what I wanted. I wrote 'nothing' on it and sent it back. They sent me a brandy glass with the Royal Mail logo on it which went into the bin, a tie with a bronze crown on it (no fan of Liz) which followed the glass to the landfill, a bronze badge which ended up being given to an old bloke in the pub, and a certificate which also went into the bin and the frame used by my daughter to hold a big photo of a cat.
At 20 years, much the same except this time it was a glass tankard and a tie with a silver crown and the frame holds a photo of a Spanish milita woman from the civil war. Amazing how political a kid can become in five years.
I can't wait for 30 years. A photo of Leighton's funeral cortege should look very nice in a frame hanging up in the toilet.

The cortege would be a fitting way to leave!!!! Old AL would prob get a nice fat wedge of A Payout for his family... Died while screwing the public out of a service On his gravestone... That i would give a sum of ££££ too...
I don't know where all this frivolity comes from - I got a Consignia pin after 10 years - but it only arrived after 13 years - with a certificate in a wooden frame - which now houses a picture of my beloved border collie - If I live to see the arrival of my 20th award I want Pammy in her red swimsuit and a well done steak dinner and a new set of teeth. Pammy can leave her teeth at home!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks PB his name is Badger and he replaced my original red border collie who was Bruno - both good dogs.
If you get the Sunday mirror take a look at that girls bum who was bitten by an alsatian - christ what a mess - she 's a postwoman, the owners should be put down.
but i'm gonna try any way.
