No way cant stand the stuff anymore. It means getting the bus in late sitting around waiting to see if we go out or not then when finished and wet and cold waiting for a bus to go home total cost £6.80. If no buses running they will expect me to walk 4 miles to my DO local office

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..........

Definately not me, I do afternoon collections by which time all the roads were like glass, to make matters worse some k**b flew out of a junction in front of me, spun round to face me and I just about managed to stop......... I refused to go out on my 2nd run telling RM I value my life more than this job....PROPER SCARY!!!!

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
