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.

Delivery time is first letter to last. Duty time everything else including conveyance, loading van and van checks.
