Pulled by IB ? ?

[POSTMAN]

One day last year I was dead wealking to my next drop when some guy came up to me and showed me some official looking badge/I D card and said he was with "Royal Mail security". He then said he needed to check inside my bag.
Since I've never been shown an official I.B. card/badge or whatever they have I had no clue if he was genuine so I told him to F**K OFF and went on my way. Never got any come-back over it but I do wonder if he was really IB.

Strange,IF he was IB he would of contacted your manager,perhaps not to tell you off but just to let him know what happened.
Tbf you should of reported it anyway.If you didn't that is.

but as managers rarely leave their coffee to let us know what's happening maybe he did contact him.

Can anyone tell me what the rules are on a rural.We are in and out of our vans every two mins,if we had to go in the back everytime we would be out till midnight.Surely common sense must prevail in this situation.

Nothing should be in the front of the van end off.

Common sense would tell you if you done the job properly you would not be able to get pulled by the IB and you would have to have your duty looked at.

As im on rehab im gettin the daft wee jobs to keep me busy .

On Friday the last part I had to do was deliver 50 sky mags that were sorted in order . As i had been pulled 2 days earlier I wanted to be 100% as to what the procedure would be .

Told the manager that I would be goin into 1 house driving 20 yards and into another etc etc . Do i have to turn off the van, get out , lock the door , post the mag , unlock the door , start the engine , drive 20 yards and repeat the whole process 50 odd times .............. YES ! ! was his reply .

I bet 95% of the drivers would stop ....... run out leaving engine running and door open post the mag and run back .

He was right to say yes but it does make the job twice as long .

You forgot to add that your seatbelt has to be put on each time

Everytime I get out of the van I turn the engine off and as I move away from the van I lock it, I've done this for a couple of years and it does take longer but that's their problem and not mine

Yes, if you have prior approval to do so, there is no mail in it and you meet certain other conditions such as locking it and not stopping off at the pub for a couple of hours on the way home.

Why would you want to take a van home?? Anyway, the PDAs will always need to be returned to the office to charge up and download/upload for the next day so you should always return to office.
