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.

Mailsorts of a Saturday is a def no no regardless when the next working day is, RM would have you believe you must take it due to BH but they are just trying it on. And i'm off tues so never in a million years was I gonna touch it.

Very heavy on Saturday = loads of cut offs, they're using other managers at our office so its costing nothing, so we will carry on, all mail is still delivered by the last letter time so really there is no problem.
CUT OFF!!!
