Your duty DOES NOT take you 3hrs 30mins,you use your car,that takes time off of it.Your DO is also within the bermuda triangle with no boats to ship you to your duty start point.

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.

I know I'll be chastised for using my car but I did my delivery and lapsing today and was finished for 12. It helps that because we do the lapsing, they let us out as early as possible.

I admire people for taking a stance when they're being put on, but sometimes I think some people just like to cut their own noses off to spite their face.
What was you van driver doing whilst you were using your car when he should drop you and your bags off ?

Ours get dumped with extra packets or sometimes parts of walks that are supposed to be lapsed! :no no

No lapsing in my office. The DOM wanted us to lapse we said No. He tried to change our minds by telling us we'll be doing extra IPS, that backfired on him when we said OK.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Illegitimi non carborundum

OK as long as the IPS is there to do of course. :sad:
