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.

They did, and before that they were brown canvas. The one thing they all had in common was that after about two weeks, they all let the rain in and turn the mail into papier mache.
