Ours is Total too - we have only two and one of those is outside our delivery area, it must be at least 8 miles away. The other is not quite as far about 4 miles, not too far but a fair way when you happen to be going 12 miles in the opposite direction for the delivery. :hmmmm I don't know who thought that pearl up but.................................. I hope there is a big enough saving to justify the extra mileage.

This must be a regional thing. We haven't heard anything about this our way and I can't see it happening since the nearest shell garage is almost a 2 hour round trip from our DO :)

So instead of going to your local Tescos and filling up you have to go a Shell garage . Bye bye club points . Another liitle perk gone ! Will be told in a WTL session this week.
Any rurals in the middle of nowhere will have to travel miles to there nearest shell garage ! Yes really saving money that one !
I kid you not. What ever whizz came up with this idea ? Probably getting free shell petrol for life ?
Watch this space?

Well i told you so . How you all getting on collecting your airmiles ? In our shell garage we get a free car wash with every £20 of fuel !

No news about ours changing yet.

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.
My BFF Clash
The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
