You still can - if you do half a round for an agreed 4 hours, it does`nt matter what time you finish. You & manager have agreed a deal - half round=4 hours pay full stop. If you agree to do OT and to get paid to when you actually go home, then tough- reep what what you sow ect.

I remember getting 6 hours each overtime for Gas and Electric bills and we was allowed to do them over 3 days,oh and mailsort only came in on a Monday and was shoved straight on top of the frame and then would be fitted in the rest of the week..if you felt like it :shock: .... along with the households that also would go on top...if you was a newbie as I was back then the lino would beg you to take out some old codgers households that had built up over the past MONTH.

You could make a fortune if you wanted especially round xmas time.
The good ole days really were good,none of this conduct code bollocks over not doing a redirection or failing to have a sense of humour or the need for a fact finding exercise when somebody cuts a loud fart.
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

No D2D's, rebate dumped on top of your frame, virtually nothing in the packet bag except a birthday present or catalogue item. No RM2000 frames, 1 bag to deliver maybe 2 on a bad day. None of that 'the mail is dropping off' bollocks.
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

And we made a healthy profit very year.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
