Would of thought so yes as long as you are on the same hrs.
Has the office you want to go to not got any vacancies,have you been down there to see,you may get lucky.
Ignore the official route,go straight to source.

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.
