D2D Deliveries

Post by Lincox »

Have noticed over the last couple of weeks, lads in civvies delivering charity bags (for later collection of second hand clothing etc) out of Royal Mail Bags. Anyone any idea whether Royal Mail are sending these people out to deliver D2Ds. Saw two today on the same estate with RM Red Bags.

I have seen bags like ours but they are not ours if that makes sense.It may not have been a RM bag.

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.

One of my customers is having her garden wall re-built, just to spite me (so long, short cut...).

The builder was using a well-worn RM pouch to carry his tools.

Nothing surprises me anymore :sad:

A guy that came around to fit a new windsceen last year had a RM stormproof and RM shoes :shock: :shock:

I ve often seen stormproofs being used on building sites.

They can barely carry paper and sellophane for more than a couple of months so its not gonna last long with his tools in it.

I have seen 'postie bags' advertised in places. They are not RM endorsed they are just fashion. Probably better than ours!! :d'oh!
