It's about surcharges and weighing the mail,i've emailed them with a response from one of the PO guys.

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.

Seemed like a pointless story from what I can see. Maybe Watchdog is running out of stories. If you are posting letters and are in any doubt of the postage you always [well I always] round it up. Perhaps they didn't want all those wedding guests to attend. After all alot of people get invited out of courtesy, when you dont really want them to turn up. Hold up thier invite in the post and hey presto problem solved! :Applause

Perhaps most of their guests didn't really like them and were just happy to have some sort of an excuse not to go!

Well done watchdog,they posted 100 cards trying to prove their point and didn't get overcharged on any of them, :left: Struggling for stories me thinks! Thanks for the money anyway! :cuppa
