1064 DP is if you use single spacing for the dividers rather than double. This gives you 38 slots per box on the frame rather than 20. 20x7x4=560, 38x7x4=1064. For 900+ calls you should have 2 seperate RM2000 frames really.
You really cant use single spacing on a RM2000 as 6 lots of d2d would totally fill the space and any flats would snap the fillets.

I don't see how Royal Mail will stop us doing it the usual way. Most manager will think as long it is done they don't care.

I think they will probably just tell you to Darren.
It is their right.
Whether you follow that instruction is up to you but personally i can think of much more worthwhile fights to pick with my employer. :neutral:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

'at the back'
wheres that in a double slot?
D2D are meant to be placed in frame after you are fully prepped, it dont take much to keep them seperate on double slots but prepping takes time,reg get 4/5 each week and if it takes me too long to prep then some of dely get,s left for Dim to do :nana

Some of you lot need to stand up for yourselves, if a manager tried to tell us to prep d2d indiviually he'd be aughed off the floor. Same as with the kill off's thread, if we are feeling reall lazy get your manager to do your sign offs ! Some of you must work in really weak offices.

Wouldn't that be a manager doing OPG work?
We wouldn't have that in my office.
Do your kill offs and cut off.

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

Then what?
Raise a grievance?...go to disagreement?...for being asked to prep D2D individually. :left:
Or just get conducted for something completely trivial like a mug.?
You're a manager's dream....all gob...no firepower..
Must be a very weak office.. :cuppa

wrong, we are a strong office must have sent at least 6 dom's and some som's to the funny farm in our time, we don't do lapsing and are always the last office to sign up to any deals. Bet we are 1 of the strongest office's in the country. Nobody ever gets conduct coded only for really excessive time off.
