Probably the same bright spark who thought that two sharing a van was going to be able to do two duties, two sets of parcels, specials and tracked, push a trolley through piles of dog sh1t, struggle like a bastard to get parked up and do half as much work again as before when really two feet walking up a path pushing a letter through a door takes exactly the same amount of time as before.

Weight off the shoulder...............that's a good thing, but trolleys?............I think the jury is well and truly out on that one,......smaller bags would have sufficed in quick tight loops . As for the HCTs..........the old ones stood up to the delivery better than the new ones............3 wheels have fallen off the new swivel ones in less than a fortnight.......and the braking system with the plunger instead of the old type lever system is crappy.

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.
