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.

We start at 5.39 on Thursdays.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

0600 every day. This has been the same since SDD except for saturday which was 0500 (0430 before SDD) until last year when our MC was closed and moved 45 miles away.

Most of my office are Mon - Sat 6-2. That is staying the same for the time being. When A+ is finished in a couple of weeks we will be moving to a 6.30 start on a Saturday. When we eventually get the revision I think we will be starting at 7, well thats what we told by the DOM when he held a meeting after the 2010 agreement but no doubt that'll change again because we've got yet another DOM taking over next week.
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
