Did you get your RM xmas card ?

Post by krussel »

My day off and my royal mail christmas card has just hit the mat :confused

Its not a bad one this year with good old Gromit posting a stack of christmas cards and looking like his going to get a snowball in the face by that pesky penquin :left:
Anyway there are 50 Gromit first class stamps inside and a standard "Thank You" message from Donald and Moya.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Standard Thanks for breaking our backs for even less pay than last year even with the amount of money they're saving surely 100 would've been nice... Well i'll take the stamps but the card will be send back with a REFUSED sticker on it. :chuckle

I'm still using the stamps I got 3 years ago :arrrghhh I'm too knackered to write to anyone when I get home and most of my friends & family have probably moved or died because I'm too knackered to visit them.

BTW Not had this years yet.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I use all my stamps in correspondence with HMRC. I think they're utterly useless. Not a week goes by without me receiving a new tax reference number (why the old one cannot suffice, I've no idea). Today they've written to me giving me a new tax code, having only given me the old one two months back. Does anyone know what the difference is between 659L and 647L? 'Cause now I'm on the former and I've no idea why. I know the numbers roughly relate to your tax-free allowance (add a 0), but have no understanding as to why mine has changed.

Anyways, this is all beside the point. I WANT MY STAMPS, I NEED MY STAMPS.

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.

You can get into trouble if you sell them. If I'm still here in another couple of years I may have enough to decorate a wall :Very Happy
