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.

Re: Interesting Piece in the Guardian
I think some probably already are , judging by the court cases that are put on this website.Nevertheless it is refreshing to actually read an article where a journalist has attempted to find out what is really going on in this industry,several years too late but there you go it was still a welcome and refreshing readbag69 wrote:Would suggest you all look at this and read the comments after as well.

Re: Interesting Piece in the Guardian
I always love the comments in the Guardian quote :
Since when, I'll be glad to see the back of it!
DHL and FedEx deliver my parcels. Like most people I stopped using letters and paper billing years ago.
All the post office delivers to me is junk mail and Pizza delivery menus.
Last time I went into a Post Office it was filthy, smelt of urine and had a queue 30 deep for a solitary open window.
Now I use DHL Collection points for my parcels, or for important ones the van actually comes to me to collect them.
The Post office is like British Leyland, a dinosaur that the Private sector has made redundant, time to withdraw public funding.
Love em

Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Interesting Piece in the Guardian
Bullshit as how can he make sure the mail order company use DHL or whatever instead of Royal Mail. I can't even get Amazon to send everything via royal mail. (Especially in bulky orders)

Re: Interesting Piece in the Guardian
Most of the comments are actually giving us a good report compared to competitors and foreign postal services, excellent article that really deserves a bigger audience than the Guardians readership.

Re: Interesting Piece in the Guardian
Most journos when writing about rm appear to just plagiarise previous articles and then meld them with the latest RM press release and then spin them to suit their own political prejudices.With a bit of luck therefore we might actually get a bit more pro-postie articles as a resultsingingpostman wrote:Most of the comments are actually giving us a good report compared to competitors and foreign postal services, excellent article that really deserves a bigger audience than the Guardians readership.
