So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet

I absolutely love the way 'The Courier' mag and the likes of the video above can find the biggest geeks in the world to say what a great company they work for. How great all the equipment is. Never no problems. Everything is just perfect! ABSOLUTE BALLS! This video and 'The Courier' mag are forms of propoganda to the highest decorum! The more people within Royal Mail and the public that are advised of this website the better. Absolute fed up with Royal Mail and their bulls*it stories and videos when it really is so far from the truth! If 'Courier' mag and Royal Mail have nothing to fear they would indeed print in their toilet paper about this website. We all know though, they have so much to fear cause they are a pack of bullies who are only interested in their whooping bonuses at the cost of the welfare of the posties at the bottom! Long run the fox!

Notice the road doesnt have many cars parked? Nowhere to park this crud on my walk and i guarantee the scummwho live there would break this thing open within 5 mins - thats after kicking my head in for looking like a twat when riding it.

Give me a push bike and a bag drop. Easy.

:crazy: Can you imagine trying to drive these things in blizzard conditions?It'd getting more embarrassing by the day working for this company---What speed do they do? I bet going uphill with 7 pouches in the back, it will be about 2 miles an hour--slower than we are expected to walk.

The background music is quite appropriate, sounds like an ice-cream van. Made me laugh when he says the public think its a good idea............no mate they are making small talk whilst thinking what a tw@t you look.

Electric bicycle. Rgarding integrity of mail, the box at the back is obviously lockable but I didn't see any key or whatever at the front to immobilise it when you're walking up a drive. :shock:
Scooter. "Customers get the mail a bit quicker" - that's good, and it means you get home a bit earlier does it ? :crazy:

I'm sure brothermagrew will have more details but I thought the mopeds were removed because they where too dangerous and the trikes idea was binned because it was too expensive and didn't work well enough and they decided to go with the van share idea.

I guarantee that if we had Van share in the first place, RM would be considering a nationwide push bike strategy and play the Green card to get it done.

When I queried the "new" technology and when it would be arriving I was told the trikes and mopeds had been shelved and that was months ago - so it has either been revived or it is a publicity stunt to make joe public think there are new initiatives.
