LM comes out for a cigarette...walks out of the yard to our picket line , looks at a board we have leant up against the fence and says "Could you remove that board from Royal Mail property please"![]()
Pat moves it approximately 12 inches and leans it on a telegraph pole and says " There you go ..that was a nice little victory for you wasn't it...anyway shouldnt you be inside working?"
Smarmy LM replies" Noo I'm just a member of the public seeing what's occuring"
PAT "oh ok...as a member of the public can I ask you to support our strike?"
LM " No ...I don't believe in it..."
PAT"oh I see ,, then as a member of the public and not my line manager..would you f**k off"
LM departs with his tail between his legs.....
PAT " have a good morning ....btw if you're still a member of the public..you're trespassing"

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.
