Look I love posties, especially our former postman who used to wear shorts until November. He retired and I miss the sight of those weathered pins.

If only I had the chance to see if Royal Mail or DHL couriers were trousered-up.

They don't realise the importance of post at this time of year. They ring the doorbell once then scarper, leaving me to run downstairs in time to see the van disappearing.

I've got four to get from the sorting office now, adding to my never-ending Christmas To Do list. Funny that because I was under the impression that The Postman Always Rings Twice!

So now even if the person acknowledges that they just didn't get to the door on time, we're still in the wrong :crazy:

What gets me is these people expect us to wait for as long as it takes for them to drag their arse to their front door.....yet at the same time, if we post their mail 15 mins later than what they think as the usual time, they whinge and moan ie: "you're late today, aren't you postie?" :roll:

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.

TBH, POSTMAN, I think she is beneath our contempt, and not worth the time of day
