BTW Not had this years yet.
Can you not sell them to the PHG in the callers office?
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
Why? or on what grounds?

You're not allowed to sell them because they are a tax-free gift or something.
It is a serious offence.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

'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 to do with your uniform, you get a rebate on washing it.

Cheers for that, I thought DGP was being a little less than serious.

Aint got mine yet! :so there
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.
