Census 2011

LTB here...

This will involve the posting of circa 26 million items across the UK with items due to start moving to Mail Centres and on to Delivery Offices on the 2nd 3rd and 4th March.
Delivery of the items in England and Wales is due to commence from Monday the 7th March with the items targeted for delivery on the 7th, 8th and 9th to avoid the heaviest delivery days of the week. It should be noted that no items can be delivered before the 7th March. It is expected that 70% of all items will be available for delivery this week in England and Wales with the remaining 30% (plus the remote parts of Scotland) being available for delivery on the 14th, 15th and 16th March. N.Ireland will have its own arrangements with all items being delivered w/c 14th March which will account for about 750k – 800k of the items.
The items themselves will be C4 in size and addressed to the ‘Householder’ and are expected to weigh 0.129kg in England, N.Ireland and Scotland. The Welsh version will weigh 0.214kg due to being a bilingual version. This indicates that there will probably be weight on delivery and replenishment issues to deal with and suitable arrangements must be in place to deal with this.

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.

Gotta love the bilingual versions of everything we get! Most massive waste of paper ever.

They don't print them in Urdu or whatever for those that don't speak English in England, but everything in Wales has to be bilingual. Just print everything in Welsh and those who can't speak the language of the country they're in will have to get on Google translate like the rest of us :chuckle

Aye, that's two extra pouches per day if they're split evenly over the three days. And two pouches of cut-offs, for that matter.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I'm guessing you missed the :chuckle at the end of my post... I did also say that everything should be in Welsh so I don't really know how much more patriotic you want me to be unless you want me to start belting out a few verses of Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau?!
