Does a "Moron" buy our kit ?
Even an idiot knows that the Uniform quality is absolute crap !
How do they get away with it. It's not fit for purpose and doesn't last long so it's a false economy.
Surely someone high up (and paid loads) can see this and see that it will cost RM more money in the long run.
Are the "Top Brass" really so short sighted ???

The only decent thing we had was the 3/4 length thermal jacket with the removable sleeves. It was practical, comfortable and had loads of pockets. So what did they do ? Replaced it with a fleece and a high-vis coat that wears you and is bloody bulky and uncomfortable.
So yes, I reckon a moron buys the stuff

Hope thats a rhetorical question? and the answer is YES.. Our shareholder can't even buy the right equipment for Soldiers fighting Wars or is that just a slight coincidence.

New ones have been issued to us with our new uniform (still can't wear it but it's there), so he is talking out his arse.dados wrote:lino told me today that the stormproof jackets aren't for general issue,you get them when the old style are done (which is when you take them out of the bag),is that true ,or is he talking out of his bum again?

The trousers go PURPLE after only a few washes and that really gets my goat.
For some unknown reason

Of course Morons buy our kit,they then give it to other Morons in these lovely little Courier loving offices to trial them.

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.
