Always wondered what smartie was like .

Think their will be some doms going next week .

Smartie also has to meet the 2 MPS FOR mIlton Keynes next week and explain to them .

Who would bring a massive revision into a office so close to peak.

How come the planners who are responsible for this mess are not held accountable for this mess.

Help , how on earth did that man attain his position? It was painful to listen to.Anybody listening into this would be forgiven for thinking that RM only employs cretins.What a World Class doughnut.Belial you made the correct decision.

No need to worry, privatisation will cull the wheat from the chaff both managers and staff.

I suspect that there will be many fewer managers and instead there will be team leaders who'll receive the supervisory allowance instead of the bloated salary that managers get.

Here's another incredible money saving idea in our 'modernisation' journey. At Brinklow they have given out EVR to many posties and now when the revision has gone down the pan we have heard that they are going to take on more staff. To quote Wylie Cyote -'Sheer Genius'.

Maybe we should set up a RM standard replies league table and then everytime rm issue a statement
we look for the standard replies and add them to the table. Replies like CWU/RM agreed this. Postal staff voted for this.
Teething problems. Adverse weather or worst weather for 30 years. Sorry....oops, shouldn't be there :left: .
Each one mentioned gets a point and added to the table.

After a couple of months we can find out what their favourite standard reply was.
The time has come to stop turning the other cheek, time to stop shaking our heads in bitter dismay, time to stop mumbling our angry words.
The time has come for union.
