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.

Re: Smoke N Sort
I remember smoking while prepping my walk, used to have those little ashtrays on the frame the ones that you used to get on cinema seats. Imagine dropping a fag in the drop bag 
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Why not get one of those Electronic Cigarettes?
We're allowed to use them indoors, so long as we're not operating equipment (e.g. FLT), or walking around at the time.

This is one thread that shows that the 'good old days' were anything but good! *cough*, *retch*, *splutter*. Thankfully the druggies were sent outside some years before I started.

Re: Smoke N Sort
Yes. But speaking as a former smoker (nearly 5 years now), it's a surprisingly powerful addiction. Once you've started, it's very hard to quit. And when you're stressed, the need to light up, is much stronger. I was hoping to give people a possible solution to the cravings. There's little hope of anyone giving up at the moment, with everything that's going on at RM.
