I've found myself out posting. I'm a cover guy, but remember a car with a camera mounted on top driving around on one of the rounds I was doing. Fame at last!

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.

I saw a similar car when I was driving a Van, alas they decided not to use my footage, they must have used a second take, bugger I'm not that ugly surely.

Be very careful here boys and girls, remember the IB Post. Even though the pics are blured they can tell a lot if you mention it's you!

Out of interest, what can they do? Bring a charge of Bringing RM / PO / GPO, whatever into disrepute? If so why have they been so slip shod in their investigations into Crozier, Higson, Tolson, et al? :left:

I think this is a half serious post so I will answer it as such.

The IB could not do you on one post with google street view, but if you have said something contentious, illegal or libellous in another post then providing them with a picture that shows where you were delivery at one point will make it easier for them to track you down. Also the face is blurred but a general description based on hight, hair, build etc would be easy to get.

It wasn't in the least bit serious tbh :crazy: , but for those that did not realise the implication of the "Look at me working there!" posts, thanks for the explanation :Applause - also would there be such a charge in the conduct code? Someone was sacked for taking part in the May Day riots some years ago ( in his RM coat with badge on it :d'oh! ) IIRC - the point is, in the years since Crozier joined, surely something he has said could be described as bringing RM into desrepute ( Spanish practices? Underworked, overpaid? Something surely )

Google Earth and Google Street View: Sorta helped me a bit, as customer claimed her vehicle prevented me being chased by Rover onto public road/AOD.
This was untrue, but...the two above show no vehicle outside her gate, one shows it on drive way. LOL!

So, it may not be the day in question, BUT...Shows that the vehicle not always there, as per her insinuation.
And they called me " A opportunist fraud/Liar..."

Thanks TBT that is exactly what I assumed. Once they tie poster's 'screen name' with a picture on Street View they know exactly who wrote any past, or future posts on here. If you are not bothered, why not use your real name on here instead of a pseudonym. None of us do, do we? :cool
