The competition is taking the piss, and we're falling for it.
We ain't falling for it - we know it's a crock of sh*t.....but our lords and masters :roll: tell us to take the crap, or we'll get coded for willful delay ( easier to say that than to actually find out the facts from the original and any subsequent DSA agreements, or to make use of the backbone they were born with and tell their lords and masters to get bent! )
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

developed the art of skimming them down the path with just enough momentum to plop gently on the doorstep, also the technique of dropping them but breaking the fall with my foot to land securely on the coconut matting .

I give a crap, cos if RM are getting £1 for a packet that costs £1.25 to deliver, that TNT charged their customer £2.50 for, that's another way RM can say "You can't have a pay rise, we got no money, no, you can't put more hours into your office, we got no money & no, you can't offer FT or even permanant contracts to temporary PTs to even out the workload and make it fairer - so piss off!"

And since I got a permanant contract, I've been stuck on PT hrs....which means I can work all the over time that is offered....but I get jack sh*t extra until I hit 40hrs - why am I still PT & why are most of the PTs in my unit kept on temporary PT contracts? See above......this job and our employers don't leave a lot of opportunity for people to come in, do a days work, collect their pay and be respected by management.

This "competition" lark, really is one big con. Those shytty light bulbs won't arrive where they're intended, unless Royal Mail delivers them, so, what's with the "TNT" stamped all over them, and what sort of business hands over money to TNT to do what, just collect them?
Only in Britain could such arrant nonsense occur. :mad

Bloke in my office is offering £50 to a driver to do them all for him, rather than carry 1 or 2 per bag for as long as it takes.

It defies belief it really does.

Same here the amount of DSA i ve been delivering is amazing it must be around 60% if not more of everything i carry now :cry

The lightbulbs just about sum it up for this year it simply not a fair market and we get the sticky end of the stick every bloody time.

What I want to know is, what happens to all the ones that get returned to sender ? Is there a huge warehouse somewhere packed to the ceiling with retuned lightbulbs or are they sent out again with another adress label on ?
I have a nasty suspicion the they're just sent to landfill which defeats the whole purpose of the exercise.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

They're not allowed to put CFLs into landfill, they have to be properly disposed of.

If its DSA doorstep them all, let them get the flack.
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
