Ours already lapse 2 full rounds every saturday, and take out their own non firms and are still done at 11 :left:
Precisely JCL, drivers have been getting away with murder for years, about time they were brought into line.

Do you mean 'some' drivers.
I see my guys waiting at bus stops and i've still got loads to do.

It's swings and watnots at my place,sometimes I (driver) finish early,some times the walkers.

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.

Im finish before my time in spite of the driver (bags turning up late so I have to take 2 out, he does this on purpose as I see him delivering packets before my bags, chucking back parcels HE deems will fit in our bags then accusing us of lying or manipulating the bags and generally just taking the pee and dragging his feet on a daily basis) not because of him.
