It is pretty obvious that the lead up to Christmas could be a big earner for Royal Mail in respect of D2D.
I personally can't wait. :d'oh!
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

No daz i would imagine the drop off in business mail at christmas will be used as an excuse to fill that "hole" in indoor workload with D2D. :hmmmm

Yup... we were discussing the agreement today during WTL and the D2D thing is a huge sore point... no way in hell we'll be voting yes anyway.

Lets hope the Dr will be able to feel your bones too because from 1st April he won't necessarily be signing you off work, rather he will make a declaration as to what he thinks you are fit for - I dread to think what she thinks I'm fit for - still FA won't take up too much space.

These "fit notes" could be an interesting dilemma for Royal Mail who in my experience would much rather you were off sick than cluttering up the D.O on light duties.

I don't know if you've seen one ft but we were discussing them a couple of days ago, actually last week and I personally found it a difficult concept to grasp. How is a Dr to know what your job entails merely from a simple query like where do you work? or what's your job? - I would say postman and I suppose that would conjure an image of someone struggling up the path with a bag of mail - which would be totally wrong and I could be signed off as unfit when in reality I could do the work I do within reason.

Then there is the image of an Area Rep - which could well conjure up a vision of someone relaxing on stacks of cushions feasting on turkish delight smoking through one of those hookahs with a bevy of beauties in attendance and a couple of OPGs fanning him with a large ostrich feather fan - after they've completed their 8 hour delivery with 2000 D2Ds :Very Happy :Very Happy

Do they call you elephant man BD - that I think is from a very old thread and maybe another forum :chuckle No they moved to pastures new when the "turkish delight" ran out :angel :wink: The shed/s still here but a lonely place now bereft of human company, though my faithful collie is a good listener.

That is not possible BD - that was well before my time :angel

I must admit daz things were a lot better then, there wasn't really any contentious unfair issues to mar the forum - there may have been an odd banning but nothing too riotous and it was funny - now there is a great deal to be concerned about and my upbringing and background make me probably too aggressive but there are serious problems within the union and the workplace that need to be addressed, not that I am going to change things but someone with the necessary skills may well take up the challenge this sets - is it you?
