have been in the job since i was 16 now 38 can not see me being able to do this when i am 50
Hey I am 52 started when 29 ( 22yrs,) untill my AOD I was reasonably fit but found the job making me more tired, now on cycle del, use to do a lot of driving, but i will be lucky if I last another 5yrs just knackered all the :cuppa time, and back is really playing up.

When i started I really enjoyed the job ,but now I love being outside but Hate RM and the way it is being run from top to bottom,

Thanks for the replies guys i feel for all of you.
In my office if you take a look at most of the long term posties,you will notice that they all limp or walk funny.
How the hell did the union let RM get away with it?
And is there really such a thing as health and safety especially in the heat of the summer.Where are they then?
When they last came around our office and asked me if there was any issues i said to him that it was pointless telling him of issues because nothing would be done about it,it makes me angry when the bosses spout the crap of h&s at work time learning sessions.Id like to tell them what i really think but i would no doubt end up out the door.
They seem to operate the burnout system that the u.s.a employ which is to work employees until they drop and burnout,they then replace with another employee who starts young but after a few years here come the problems and so it goes on.

Work time learning sessions? What are they? We haven't had a regular WTL for about 18 months!
