I am voting NO! but how true is the 4am starts, would it work and would we still get ESA?

Tell your rep to come on here,we'll have a word in his shell like.

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.

But what about the people who work the machines?
What hours will they work?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
