Time to use Boy Scouts?

Post by watdeadlyone »

Has the time come for Royal Fail to employ the scouts at Xmas.
After this years fiasco it was interesting to see the local scouts started delivering on 1st of December.And when did the so called experts start us on Xmas duties THE 13TH!!
Surely Moya can take inspiration from the boy scout movement and move the company forward using their forward thinking.lol

i can see the headline now.

i do agree that more temps should be used in the christmas period and also in the summer allowing more family holidays but using children would probably be a bit much in this day and age.

back to the title, what would the headline be?

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.

I think it's a great idea! They could rub two sticks together and set light to the delivery office.

The parents end up delivering the letters anyway running them around in their cars (bit like us :arrrghhh ) A couple of years ago they simply stuffed them into a post box and we charged the lot :left:

Mind you we did deliver them by christmas that year :nervous

A woman handed me a bunch of christmas cards which had been misdelivered to her by the scouts. She had been away since early december and just got back. She had even put stamps on them all so they would get delivered to the correct address.
