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.

To be fair, it does look good in the plastic wrapping, it's just when you start to use it it becomes obvious that it's rubbish..............wait, rubbish is actually worth more these daysPOSTMAN wrote:Ahhhh bless these newbies.Looks like the stuff is good quality

Like I said, if they just made the coats out of the stuff they make the pockets off, the coat would be brilliant...
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Re: What do you get with the basic uniform?
Well, I wore my "stormproof" coat today... rained ALLLLLLLLLLLLL morning and I was soaked from neck to toe. My pockets did their usual job of holding the water in though!
My shoes had water in them that I could feel squelching and moving around when I rotated my ankles a little. My shirt was soaked, I was wearing shorts as the trousers would have just stuck to my legs and the waterproof ones are rubbish too.
I've now got to find some different shoes to wear to work tomorrow, probably the ones that cut my feet to shreds despite being broken in, as these shoes have no chance of being dry by next week. But seeing as I'm only meant to have ONE pair of shoes... should I wear the wet ones and get trench foot?!
