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 have used my car from day one and it helps ENORMOUSLY ! ! !

Im gonna get shot down in flames YET AGAIN but it works for me and THOUSANDS of others .

We get out sharpish and finish sharpish . These moaners just like to moan cos THEY cant/wont do it and they are out hours after we finish .

Yes of course they are fuming ....... I would too if i couldnt do it but i can so i do .

They will ALWAYS tell you you are doing wrong and losing peoples jobs ........ blah blah blah ......... prove it . They havent so i still do it .

As I said......... THOUSANDS ( and its been proven ) still drive their own cars cos it saves an enormous amount of time .

Ok im ready ...... hit me with your moans .

All seriously If I was to finish BANG on time or near it I wouldnt do it . NOT A CHANCE ! ! .

I would drive to work and back and thats it BUT it does 100% save me AT LEAST 5 hours a week . Last 2 days alone its saved me 3 hours .

It doesn't save you any hours a week. You'll pay out on petrol and maintenance, and I could still do the same amount of work at the same speed - on my bike for FREE - if I wanted to. But I don't. Because I'm not obsessed with running around and getting an extra hour of TV in before everybody else gets home. I'm not obsessed with helping the managers to cut the 600 hours out of our office that they think they can. If they want to try and make more savings, I'll do my walk even slower just to irritate everyone. Me, I don't mind working 5 hours, sans my half an hour meal break, for my 5 hours' pay. I guess that makes me a fool compared to you very intelligent car users who are home an hour before me. :roll:

Well you said it Taurus not me .

If i can save 5 - 10 hours a week i will do it and dont tell me im not saving anything cos its not costing me very much at all . Only fuel . YES i have insurance tax etc but i would still have that with it sitting at my house . AND its a brand new fuel efficient BMW i have so fuel is minimal .

And if you take it seriously then you need to chill .

Its the truth but it was tongue in cheek partly . It costs me almost nothing to use my car . THAT was the point .
