One of my work friends got a return to sender letter back today, on it it said i am supporting the royal mail strike and will refuse to accept mail that isnt from royal mail (ie TNT etc)

Also the 100 miles song came on and i did the royal mail verison on the net and everyone thought that was funny. Today was ok claimed a hour over time.

Generally yesterday was a good day. Sat/stood on the picket line most of the day with no top on (OY... no sarcy comments LOL), got a belting tan and ate like billy-o coz people were bringing us food down no end. Legs were a little sore after 14 hours but none the less, it was a good day. Took my daughter down with me and she enjoyed it too!!!

However back to the grind tonight though....

Not to worry, rough with the smooth and all that...

Ha ha ha ha ha....

Had a good afternoon, customers very supportive of the strike. Had a p***k turn up 10 mins before closing wanting his special left today(24 hour wait in our office) no ID, nothing at all, giving it all the excuses under the sun, NO ID, NO ITEM, NO EXCEPTIONS...........bloody hell did he go mental, had to press the bandit alarm and pull the hatch down. Got him escorted out of callers, closed up then a manager came up and got his letter and GAVE it to him!! Nothing like a bit of support is there, hes made me look like a right t**t

Whats the fecking rules there for??? I have calmed down now, a bit

i love mail sort why is at the top of this thread you say you claimed an hours over time then later date you state you did.our office was cut off 7.30 to stop any bringing mail back at least that makes the backlog larger.DONT DO DOCKET WHILE WE ARE STRIKING.

in my 20 odd yrs with royal mail today was one of the busiest if not the busiest i have ever had office was piled high with mail

mass cutoffs today as DUM refused to pay O/T for ext dly today 1st said only strike breakers could claim nearly started a riot he soon changed his mind and told everyone that there would be no claims for ext dly today

so (nearly) everyone cut off and brought it back
i took out 5 trays didnt leave office til 9.30am on a rural dly with a 13.30 finish
brought back just over 2 trays of mail

hope theres loads in tomorrow and the guys do another mass cutoff

we were told that we had to take it all and streamline 2nd and m/s out of it. also told we cud bring 2nd and m/s back!!!! it dont make sense that way but he said thats the instructions he has coming from above!!!!!!!! i was 20 mins over my time!!!!!!it wud make more sense to me to just leave a row of mail each day till we can clear it all!!!

As Danny baker would say 'the S has hit the F' !!!!

Redskins full of packets line up outside the doors.

Pity we're not out tomorrow or Wednesday and an even greater pity that tossers in my office come in at 4 o'clock and they're paying extended to stay out and complete.
