Lightbulbs. Some twat forgot it was Christmas when agreeing to us delivering that rubbish for TNT, so, not at all surprised about the shortage of yorks in your office.

Efficiency, must have some different meaning in whatever dictionary management use. :roll: :d'oh!

One of my neighbours works for TNT and he was talking about 'yorks' the other day, I asked him do they have there own containers he said 'No' only RM equipment. Thats where all out yorks have gone to the frigging competition!!
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

Koffins should not be used outside,and once again i ask,where's the rep?

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.

Believe it or believe it not, but our beloved employer The Royal Mail plc, have a contractual duty to supply TNT and UK Mails with yorks and trays :arrrghhh ...Here is another unbelievable thing though....The Royal Mail plc are not allowed to enter TNT or UK Mails premises to demand our own equipment back :d'oh!

Same here packets all over the shop floor god knows how we can keep track of the older packets and the newer one's in date order and we spend half the morning picking packets up and segregating them into rounds it is know wonder the packets are looking more and more like the old European butter mountain by the day!.
