You're joking, all the competition want is PF and GLS, they would gladly take them and not take RM.

I'm not sure it's all the competition want - we don't have as many big buildings on expensive land as RM :wink:

The cable say's he's selling the group with the exception, quite specifically of POL. We're all in this one together, don't forget the 50% or whatever it is of Romec thats left, and Quadrant, this that and the other. It's literally an auction and we certainly ain't going to get anything out of it.

Speaking of them,why did they lose the crown?

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.

Because PF wanted to create their own brand and not be so much associated with Royal Mail, in fact Parcelforce doesnt have anything to do with Royal Mail except being owned by the same Group Company.

Nope, three other reasons though. Like anyone would give up free parking! 1 - we gave up the Universal Service Obligation so we have no right to the crown. 2 - UPS and TNT whinged like bitches that we got away with parking where we liked when they got tickets. I even get them slapped on the van when collecting from a post office! 3 - The original "Royal Mail Parcelforce" branding went on the vans when Hestletine tried to flog it way back when - shame nobody wanted to buy it!

I'd say we have quite a lot to do with RM - our uniform is s**t and old ladies hand me their mail in the street :wink:
