by law the hours we work entitle us to a 20min break but royal mail agreed with us that we will be given 40, so the managers can let you take 20 mins during your shift as this is the minimum legal requirement and then possibly let you have the other 20 taken off your finish time. But for anyone that wants their full 40mins you can do.
Its up to you if you take your break or not but if you dont and you have an accident you will not be covered, so for arguments sake say you leave the office and then have your 20min or 40min break on your delivery in a cafe somewhere because you dont have to have it in your office.
