No, you have to wait 'till you've been here for 10! But you're right. We should get medals, not a certificate and a badge. :chuckle

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.
