Local Boab...it will depend on the office workplan and how many hours a part-timer works each day.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

That is some,not all.

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.

Actually it is the vast majority, it enables a 1 in 3 Saturday off for full timers. Prior to the revision they would share over 5 days, 2 x 10 hour shifts and one of 5 carried through to 1 of 5 followed by 2 of 10 and a cover. That is for 25 hour shifts, we also have 30 hour shifts and 33 and half hour shifts and for those there is a different set.

If your office is anything like mine your walk sequenced mail will be minimal and those that do IPS are struggling under the new weight of manual mail.

Prepping the walk sequenced mail isn't an issue, it doesn't take long. But the majority of your mail will still be manual I would think.
