Courier:The clean version.

Post by POSTMAN »

Interesting stuff (I have to read it,it's my job) this month.

Ain't snow stopping us now
Unless of course you have to bank hrs lost,not get payed at all,or bullied to do it for free on other days. :mad

Impressive IMP
"On average,RM handles approximately (What,can't they count em then) 84M items a day,yet ,on talking about 'stiff competition' they mention that we are losing 8 to 10% volume each year,so in effect we should be on 60 odd Mill items a day if you believe what they have been saying for the last few years. ;liar

Going global
We're part of 20 other postal operators that are working together to reduce our carbon emissions. :left:

Prices go up
Stamps and local collect you know about BUT business local collect where customers can have stuff delivered direct to a PO is changing from £300 a year to £1 an item!
"The price rises reflect the true cost of........." a postie going to a PO! ;liar :d'oh!
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.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I love the bit on page 4 from Post Switch "strikes drove away business" :shock: :shock: :shock:

"94 % of business dont come back" etc etc

Then the quote "royal mail still processes and delivers nearly 100% of mail through down stream access"

So its not the strikes which drove them away as they have to rely on us to deliver it anyway :Very Happy ,it was just because the price was cheaper :left:
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..........

I glanced at my courier today and was surprised...no, make that horrified, to find a card on 'sexual problems' that contained the following,
"Most sufferers can be treated effectively with tablets, injections, mechanical aids....."
There are a few posters on here that need no encouragement.

Ladies & gents, I think we have found THE replacement for Adam Crozier, he's young, entreprenurial, competative in the market place, and always makes the most of business opportunites.......

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

and lets not forget the good old miss sort run...sending a van on a 2hour round trip to the M.C. every day, just to bring back a handful of worthless bits of mailsort.

The letters page gets me every time, are these people for real (or real).

"I think we should all work for free and help Royal Mail make a profit" - Well ok, thats made up but there's always next issue....

And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
