You joke, but in all of my time working for Royal Mail, I've only ever met one manager who was able to discuss books and another who told me he was a reader, but who spent four months reading a twelve page pamphlet on the Spanish Civil War and returned it to me without having managed to get to the end. One of the pleasures of standing on the picket line is being able to converse about a range of subjects including politics, literature, religion, films, sport, history and music of all types with people who make an effort to educate themselves. If the CMA went on strike and mounted a picket line, they would all die of boredom within half an hour.

Once had a manager who, seeing me carrying a book about dinosaur evolution (The Dinosaur Heresies - Robert Bakker - f***ing fantastic) remarked "so you believe in all that stuff do you?" As managers go he was, in all honesty, a pretty nice guy, but even so it worries me that someone who thinks the earth is 6,000 years old could be left in charge of their own trousers, let alone a sorting office.

He's probably read 'Darwin on Trial' by Philp F. Johnson. It's an interesting read and uses only quotes from those who believe in the theory of evolution to make it's point. Evolutionary theory has altered down the years depending on which scientist has come up with the latest idea. It's years since I read 'Origin of the Species' and to be honest, I can't remember much about it, but I later read the Ancient Greeks believed in evolution thousands of years before Darwin. At least your manager is able to discuss a book. I've only met one in all my time at Royal Mail who was able to do that, and I'm being very serious there.

Doing my round this morning, which was thrown out by a DOM then they should try an exam in putting rectangle shaped envolopes into the correct number on the frame !!!

Most screws that are forced kicking and screaming to throw a round out do their usual timewasting/I can't even do this trick of putting all the mail into little piles for each road on the bench before actually putting it in the slots on the frame, when all of us in blue/red shirts can quite easily put it straight in. Screws recruited from failed postmen/ladies. . never!!
