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.

Ah yes - the biggest pay deal ever, deal of the century, Saturday premium - well I can answer that - there was money in the pot but unfortunately it took so long to "negotiate" this deal - 4 months - they blew the money on hotel bills, booze and rich food - ah well negotiating is what they do best :left: :left: :left:

think i am lining up with dv on this one postman....

I reckon i might start posting past comments from the crucial three to see if there are any contradictions.....

...I could do it as a "guess who said this?" thread...

....my guess is there are one or two....!!!!

still loving the site!!!!

All this cut and thrust is good practice for my cross examination skills...

...keeps my hand in for when i have to go to court to defend ex members abandoned by the CWU.....

....I put good money on this site outliving the CWU and becoming a vehicle to help all at the bottom end against exploitation.....

That will be your legacy....

I like the sound of that, I'm always up for a competition. Would there be a prize for guessing correctly - like a years free union subscription, an invite to luncheon with the glitterati, an interest free mortgage, an expense account - no no I'm just joking 10% of the DGSs salary would do.
