NIne drivers brought in on overtime to do extra collections to-day and right through xmas. Just one teeny weeny problem. The nine extra hire vans they need are not due in the office untill next monday. :chuckle More proof that managers are now being sourced from homes for the terminaly stupid. :crazy:

And why are Post Offices getting double the number of collections, four instead of two daily, when Royal Mail aren't likewise doubling the staff on sorting and delivering ? :shock:

Because somewhere between collection and delivery "MAIL VOLUMES ARE FALLING"

Haha - you forgot the management mantra didn't you ?
