One of my colleagues has moved 120 miles away.
Takes him two and a half hours travelling each way, and £5 grand a year in train fares.
He is hoping for a transfer or VR.

Used to travel 50 miles, half my part-time wages were being used on petrol. Got a transfer thankfully, now it's 2 miles.

10 minute walk, I could do it in 3 mins on my bike as it's all downhill but a bastard to ride back up. I enjoy walking back home, gives me a chance to catch up on Facebook and check my emails on my phone, plus the obligatory fag!

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.

Has he left or has he descended the ladder to management? :hmmmm
Hi Majeed, long time no see :wave
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
