Got a life of it's own now. Wait until the BBC pick it up then RM will be "forced" to investigate both the claims made and what's been said on here.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Yeah, that's the thread I thought it was in. It's either been removed or edited, i've skimmed the posts but can't see it now.POSTMAN wrote:I've looked through your posts and i cant find it,can you have a look then.OnAFlyer wrote:I actually quoted this in a post I wrote about people deliberately wasting time. I can't remember who originally posted it, but he said he wrote 739's out as 'it wasted more sorting time', whilst boasting about cutting off.POSTMAN wrote:Who said this,if anything IT SAVES TIME!!One worker boasted on the chat website how he wasted time by filling in "739" forms – which tell a resident who is not at home that they have a parcel to collect – while still at the sorting office, rather than on the doorstep once once he had checked whether the recipient was at home.
It only saves time if nobody is home, that's irrelevant though as what the paper quoted is correct. Most posties do the job properly, but there are quite a few on here that revel in the fact they're not completing and it's hardly good publicity.
The nearest thing i can find is in the link below but there is nothing untoward in that thread,only useful info.

Apparently the Yanks - well at least this one - thinks were are all commies
Once they get their foot in the door the commies are very difficult to get out. You end up with “Conservatives” like you have in England, who are too scared to impose real conservative values because so many of the population are sucking at the government tit.

I think that the Disclaimer says it all:

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:
1.Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2.Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3.Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4.Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere
It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.

I wonder why, not many people get to the bottom of his Blog.
Perhaps if he got his facts strait, instead of blindly accepting everything in the Press, he'd get more interest.
It's not us, destroying the service. It's the Fat Cats, lining their pockets!

Still. He does make a useful contribution, for anyone who does bother to read to read the whole page. Which I highlighted in Blue.

Re: Posties boast of 'Spanish practices':RMC mentioned!!!!
The likes of Leighton, Crozier, Brydon, etc.. Who come in, and get lots of money for ruining the service. Ok, so big business get a much cheaper service, and they're happy with what they get. But what about small to medium sized businesses?
What about the Public?
Anyone can asset strip, then run, before the s**t hits the fan. But it takes a REAL Businessman, to make a business grow.

Re: Posties boast of 'Spanish practices':RMC mentioned!!!!
There are actually, some VERY successful Businessmen out there. Who've started at the bottom, built up their businesses, and are now much richer than the RM Fat Cats, could ever dream of becoming. I don't like the methods used by some of them. But at least they've put in the hard graft, in the early years. And stuck with it. Instead of just going from Business to Business. Asset Stripping, and getting rich, off other people's efforts.
