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.

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 to do with your uniform, you get a rebate on washing it.
Never knew we were supposed to wash them, still only worked for Royal Mail for ten (10) years so it does'nt really need washed yet. :whistle :whistle :whistle
I wash mine once a year whether it needs it or not. :Very Happy
and the van. :Very Happy

Double whammy - lots of stamps AND the new all-weather coat was finally released "into the wild" :nana

(meanwhile the rest of the new uniform stays firmly in its cardboard box ...)

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.

Nope still waiting for my christmas card, probably lost in the mail somewhere :crazy:

Stop whining Malc, you're not getting any this year. I believe you have fallen into the 10% ejected from the stamps list in the interests of savings.....somebody has to pay for the big wigs christmas lunch and as luck would have it you have been chosen to finance it..............lucky you :chuckle :chuckle
