Dear Customer,

As you signed up to receive email alerts from us, we wanted to write to you with an update on services today.

General UpdateWe are pleased to be able to say that delivery and collection of mail is taking place across all parts of the country today. There has been some localised snowfall which may have an affect on services in some parts of Wales and the Midlands today.

Keeping mail moving
We have continued to see very high volumes of mail posted after Christmas. We have therefore implemented contingency plans to keep mail moving and to ensure deliveries to customers, as quickly as possible. These include the use of additional staff in all parts of our operation working alongside managerial volunteers. We are also making extra deliveries in areas where mail volumes are particularly high including weekend deliveries (in addition to normal daily deliveries)

Regional Information
The most up-to–date information about services in your local area can be found by visiting: http://www.royalmail.com/serviceupdates" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.

We hope you will accept our apologies for any inconvenience that’s being caused.

Well I'm from the North of England and that Regional list is far from comprehensive! I wonder if that's the sort of data dingo bases his information on.

Well there was gonna do Sunday deliveries in our office this weekend to catch up. But the area DSM put a block on it because of the USO. So i asked what is the difference between the Sunday before Xmas when deliveries were being made and two sundays after xmas when u cant do them. p.s. there where two chances of me going in. Slim and none

I think you'll find that's a lie.That is a money saving exercise 100%
The USO gives us MIN del days not a maximum.

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.
