Nice work Fellow Worker. We had the po-lice drive past eight times in eight hours. Amazing really as when the office was broken into, it took them eight hours to arrive once.

I wouldn't mind dipping my toe into Leighton's elite wearing a size 9 Doctor Marten.

There's more than one way of skinning a cat , if laws are being broken tip the police off anonymously, a few managers have had to go ; all it took was a phone call / e-mail as for affairs , it could be arranged that someone could be tipped off .What may be acceptable on Planet Post Office isn't necessarily acceptable in the real world. Let's face it your'e not dealing with nice people , play as dirty as they do.Take things outside the GPO I.E. HSE etc.
Managers are driving vans not qualified to drive,working over european directive,breach of security at Mail Centres ( especially in light of what happened in London),managers drivivng over the limit.

One manager in a town which doesn't have many guilds was caught & privately prosecuted for petty thieving , not long after a high profile staff theSeniorman wrote:johnston65 wrote:What I mean is lets name and shame these dicks who think they are above us and can tell us what to do while snorting all sorts and having affairs with postal females behind their wifes back...
So it's the same in Glasgow as in London
-ft case which was reported in The Times, Express & Star , did have his missus walk out on him.She put two& two together given his salary
It can work both ways as the female postie can get away with murder & blackmail managers.

managers are breaking the law when they put posties in the back of vans with no seats in, to drive them across picket lines so no one can see them ,norbet colon wrote:johnston65 wrote:LEFT THE PICKET LINE AT 6.00 AFTER BEING THERE FOR OVER 12 HOURS.

managers driving vans
at our office the manager drove the mail over the picket lines as the van driver would not cross surely he cannot legally do this but he was standing with a scrap of paper from crozier and lieghton telling him he was covered for this but legally hes not as the police would have something to say about the tacy graffs in the van
