Why the conspiracy against drivers they are postmen too yet they have different jobs and must prioritise the things that must be done and get the bags to the posties on time it is harder than it looks till you have done the job belt up and steer clear of the drivers!. :evil/mad

No conspiracy just the way it is in our office, suppose it differs from office to office though. In the past i'v waited as long as an hour for bags to be dropped off - taint very nice in the rain with no shelter, then again it's down to management to ensure bags are dropped etc.

I'd say about 3 out of 6 drivers at our place are bone bloody idle.

1 of which will make you wait for your bags just to prove his duty is too big to the gaffer.
