Re: Question
and what about when the top and sides of your van gets scratched by the branches of overgrown hedges that tory subsidy-grabbing farmers are too bone idle to cut back from their farm tracks - has anyone had a 'blameworth' for that damage ?

Re: Question
They were in the log book about 5 pages back, but the DOM couldn't be bothered to look, and the person that had dragged the dom out to look at the dents didn't either.custard wrote:they should be written in the log book so theres a point of referencejanitor wrote:One of the guys in the office was told as he was the last person to drive the van, he must have caused the dents, then i pointed out to the manager they were the same dents i pointed out to him, two months previous.

Re: Question
I have one bad dent in the door of my van which happened in the yard one afternoon about a year ago. No one owned up to bashing it, i reported it to a manager and we looked back at the cctv footage and it went in the log book.
Today i called in the office to be asked about the same dent
By the same manager

Today i called in the office to be asked about the same dent
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Question
One guy in our office was stationary in his vehicle and was hit by a vehicle coming the other way. The other driver admitted it was his fault and apologised etc. RM put it down as 50/50 lol
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

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.

Re: Question
You tell me, Jack. And if I was well educated, do you think I would be working as a postman ? Good grammar and punctuation is not a sign of a good education. Just as poor grammer and punctuation is not a sign of being working-class. (I'm looking at your fellow cabinet minister, Mr Prescott here). It is a sign of ignorance.jack straw wrote:Thorby Bislam, I think you should apologise to the above member. We can't all be as well educated as you obviously are. Must be great being as smug as that.Thorby Bislam wrote:If the way you drive is anything like the way you type they did right in taking you off driving.
I will not apologise for hating the dumbing down of society, however, if I hurt Rachael's feelings, then I will apologise for that. That was never my intent, Rachael.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?

Re: Question
I'm reasonably well edumacated and I'm a postie.
Edumacation has nothing to do with it, my personal circumstances meant that this job came at the right time for the right money. Now it's peed me off to the point where I'm starting a degree this year and looking elsewhere.

Re: Question
Do all your offices have car parking fairys you know the ones that come in when nobody is around and thats when all these strange things happen,vans get damaged
,miles appear on the clock but nobody has had the van
,diesel seems to go from the tank with the vapour fairy
,spare wheels seem to vanish into thin air
,just wondered as that goes on in ours all the time only if not then you should all know it could be coming to an office near you soon.
