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.

This is a bit strange :shock: I ve just tried to order some new Magnums and shirts/trousers etc and have been told they need a managers authorisation. So I asked is there anything I can order myself today? The reply : “oh yes of course there are, (pause) yes some water proof trousers”. :arrrghhh

Its strange because ive never had a problem before ringing in and I am sure its been over a year since I last ordered uniform.

Guess i will have to get my Lino to do it for me. :sad:

Its a bit of a joke really. :sad:

I mean they take your pay numberfor I.D and the uniform will only be dispatched to your office address anyway. It used to be fine i would leave it just over a year and re order without a hitch. Its going to take ages now and plenty of reminders to get my lino to do it. :arrrghhh

Just make sure there's a lino near you when you phone in your order :wink:

I think it realy all depends on the strumpet on the other end of the line, Cause some of the guys can get stuff without the linos consent :crazy:
