I finished around 12.30pm which is 30 mins over for our office. We had a large bulk posting of Britaina building soc 1st class flats which did'nt help. I ended up with 5 perstops and took 2 out leaving 3 for Monday. :sad:
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Well you would be confused - who would think perstop meant tray? There are so many acronyms in RM it isn't worth keeping pace with them - the latest PDA

DOM is making us take 15 mins of our 30 minute meal relief before we go out!

We work 0500-1200, so take 15 mins of end, so finish @11.45.

Anyone else have to take their break before they go out?

They CAN force you to take at least half your break before you go out.

ermm why wouldn't you want to take some of it anway?

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.

Because the quicker I get out of the office the better, I'll take mine out on the duty whilst sitting in a van. :nervous
