I asked my DOM about it a while back and she said 1 week too :)

Hope you've got something nice lined up!

Yes my gf has a very god job in south America ,
so will move to her,and for visa reasons I can not work for 4 years so will be a kept man :nana OR until we marry
YES I AM TAKING A CHANCE, but in one way because the job is going downhill now so fast, it helps to make up your mind and get out of the job. that I no longer enjoy.
yes tempting to go for a long sick...but then that just delay`s my plans
thanks to all who confirmed it is just one week .

No i would`t do it, I am just saying it is tempting to do.
why wait just to screw a few extra quid off the post office, when the sooner i go the sooner i can say

dos cervezas, por favor
more to life than a few extra quid,
On my last day have got a t shirt printed up to wear

20 year`s in the job and never been a sc*b , this is for the 4 of my pod members, who are the biggest moaners about the changes, but first to the rep when they need help :arrrghhh

And another important one to remember : No hay papel higiénico. Great the stuff our Spanish teacher used to tell us. She told us how to ask boys out too.

I agree....screw the bastards for as much as you can get, use the time to book flights and prepare, then, when ready just go, they'll be paying you for weeks while they try and get hold of you!
