The latest Courier

Post by arty_morty »

Or Moya's Manifesto as I like to call it. Finally a letter daring to suggest that the Courier may have the most one-sided point of view since Der Sturmer went out of print. And what is the editorial reply?

I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

Well.......What is it? Don't make me open mine, I'm trying to build up a complete collection.

Oh, is it the usual management reply, "......................eh......eh........"

You do know that you should remove all packaging before re-cycling, it isn't door2dustbins.

I like the bloke who said the stormproof is a load of kack because his trousers get wet but the short waist high kagool is better because the water just runs away. :neutral: :confused :silenced :hmmmm
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.

Both of my jackets are already broken.

Stormproof zip has busted and lining isnt waterproof
Kagool Zip has broken , sleve ripped on gate all the way down the arm.
Dont wear the new trousers coz the velcro has come off the leg pocket and the waist pockets are too shallow. Massive design flaw.

Crap quality - but then what was i expecting?

Think yourself lucky you've got the new uniform. I haven't been asked about getting mine at all. Nor have I received a holiday form asking me to pick next year's allowance. Nor have I received some T&S I'm due. Nor have I received a lot of other stuff.

But I'm not gonna let it wind me up.

Anyway, what was the reply to the "you only print one sided views"? Mine went straight, unopened, into the pile of stuff to burn. I'm guessing the reply is something like "We at the Courier always try to print off a fair share of opinions from all our colleagues within Royal Mail. As you can see, we've printed your letter so we're not biased. So there." ?
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

from the new uniform section concerning the trousers:
Q.... Whats more, they only have one pocket on the left side....

A: We are currently testing trousers with the pocket on the right hand side....
:d'oh! Why do we need to test trousers with a pocket on the more practical side? Why couldnt we just have trousers with 2 pockets?! Is that really so difficult?
