the thing that always puzzles me, where do they get these managers from?, and what do they normally do ?. seems to be a case of serious overstaffing.when i first went to dundee west we had 2 managers. we now have 5, who are less efficient than the previous 2, as Bob Dylan once said "Theres no succes like failure". :wave :wave :wave :wave :wave

Solid response so far from the Edinburgh Mail Centre drivers, well done lads and lassies! Now is the time to up the ante and get Processing, Airport and Delivery out. What about some leadership from CWU HQ ?
