Also heard 5 yorkies have been filled with undeilvered mail. TOTAL MADNESS :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

Reason: Moved topic from MC forum just in case...
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Good things come to those who wait...well in layman's terms it may not be the case.

My office goes live next week and i can't see it working...only one thing that will be good out of this agreement will be a full time contract after waiting 11 years being part time.

Thanks for the extra hours royal mail, but after hearing so many horror storys of other offices working WAY past their time, i'll just be sticking to the contracted hours that are given to me. :nervous

Well teebs, I can't say which it is, but the sentiment is there - that's precisely what it does. We have always called them opals.
