Re: Royal Mail Smoking Policy
Not sure there is a policy as its now illegal to smoke inside any public building or workplace. Even smoking outside can be deemed illegal now if the smoking area is "substantially" enclosed - Not quite sure what that would mean but I am guessing smoking in a bike shed with 3 sides may be illegal.
Oh and smoking inside a vehicle that is not your is also apparently illegal in some circumstances.

Around five million people use their own cars for work but the current law covering smoking in such vehicles is complex.
Cigarettes are banned in company cars when passengers are carried, which means taxi drivers cannot smoke. However, sales representatives still can light up if they are the only person using the vehicle.
There is greater confusion when it comes to private cars. Smoking is banned if the vehicle is mainly used for work - but not if it is mainly private.
How the boundary between personal and business use is defined is unclear, so the Government is considering closing this loophole, which can leave some non-smokers exposed to cigarette fumes, despite the ban on smoking in the workplace.

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.
