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.

A worker is entitled to an uninterrupted break of 20 minutes when daily working time is more than six hours. It should be a break in working time and should not be taken either at the start, or at the end, of a working day.

I spoke to the Daily Mail journalist who wrote this piece. He said when he was researching the dispute here in London, many postman spoke up saying they felt it was unfair to RM that people left work early as many still do. And therefore the Spanish Practices are very much still inplace. Thats what prompted him to write that
