Re: christmas time off
If you're the boss's mate, then you get between xmas and new year off. Otherwise, you're working 7 days a week from the time the first xmas card is posted, until the backlog of parcels is cleared

Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

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.

I think it may be the case you will get the Monday back as that is an official BH but not the Saturday.POSTMAN wrote:If it's an official bank holiday then yes.ashadd wrote:What if its your long weekend? do we still get it back???...![]()
