I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

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 .

TNT can pay what ever they like I don't care, too the point who cares.
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.

Re: Lightbulbs Lightbulbs Lightbulbs
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?Pegman wrote:I've been delivering TNT parcels this week FFS, clearly labled "TNT first class"eian687 wrote:down stream access should not include this crap

Only in Britain could such arrant nonsense occur.

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
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.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Lightbulbs Lightbulbs Lightbulbs
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.
