Christmas - what are you expecting?
No presents from Royal Mail, that's for sure.
Given the overriding objective to slash budgets throughout December,
I can see this being one of the most unpleasant in recent memory.

Re: Christmas - what are you expecting?
Our arrangements are pretty much the same as last year which went fairly well barring a day or 2.
Thats foot soldiers that is.
How the packets went I neither know nor care.

The missing word is 'SCROOGE' , you missed the 'C'.
Anyway who give a crap how christmas goes, do your job, work your hours & let it pile up.
Order early for xmas post early for xmas, common sense.

Re: Christmas - what are you expecting?
Laugh! Whoops, thanks Seeker. Amended.
In our office it seems like a game of poker as to who will fold first. We've been told that if we cut off, the mail will remain in the frame until the next day and then we will need to start our delivery from the point where we finished the day before and so on and so on.
Quality of service is being completely ignored in preference to hitting budgets. I can see tempers getting frayed and a lot of extra stress being created. The public won't understand (and why should they?) but they will want to know why they haven't received any mail the previous day. Things could get ugly.

Re: Christmas - what are you expecting?
Now let me think
Am I going to work umpteen hours for f**k all to let every little Pip get his present and all the fatcat c***s get their tax free bonuses this year ? Touch and go really ,but since I"m such a "workshy inefficient dinosaur" I guess I'll leave it up to the new modern worker breed to sort out the mess for free, on balance
