What will happen when/if RM is privatised, yet another rebranding fiasco!
Does anyone remember when RM spent millions rebranding as consignia, only to change it back after 5 minutes!
Remember chaps, you're uniform/equipment is provided by the cheapest bidder!

We just got our new uniforms. For some reason, I am the only one in the office to get the Welsh uniform. Everyone else's jackets say "Royal Mail", but mine says "Post Brenhinol".


We're a small office in Dorset, but I'm afraid that after the revisions my new round is going to stretch all the way to Swansea.

And yesterday, I found out just how waterproof the new red jackets are.

They aren't.

Oddly, my body was more or less dry, but my arms were soaked, all the way from shoulder to wrist! What gives???

If it wasn't for the tiny pockets (except the one on the leg of course), I'd like them too. It's nice to have the extra pocket on the right side for lefties for a change. Nearly everything else, is designed for right handed people. It can be a real pain! But it would be better, if I didn't have to put everything in that pocket, to avoid things falling out, every time I sit down!

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
