We have all the mod cons in our office, fridge/freezer, microwave, oven, toastie machine, boiling water thingy! But they might as well take our pool table away as we don't have time anymore!
I pick up my free range eggs, spuds and veg all from customers, then on my way back, I call in to my old mate from a quick glass of home brew, and he gives me a 2 litre bottle of the stuff! It's got some umph in it!!

People buy eggs? :shock: Get some chickens :Very Happy My 3 girls lay 1 egg each a day and cost me £5 every couple of months on feed :cool
I use sachets of Nescafe coffee/milk/sugar, they sell them in Iceland, works out less then 10p a cup. In Super Savers they sell the cups of drink like the vending machine ones. They are about a quid for 10-15 cups, just add hot water and no hassle remembering to wash your cup up.
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

Wouldn't know, I have tea bags, sugar, hot chocolate and coffee in my locker ( bring my own milk in for tea, coffee is black ), and down the road at t'other office there's a tea boat (£2 p/w, organised by the PHG for all the tea & coffee you can drink )

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.
