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.

We still have the laptop I bought. My wife uses it for college work. It's not very good for anything else but it is still going after all these years. But even if they did it again I wouldn't buy one, I worked out that over the 3 years it cost me about £1500.

Aye it is. I'm sure they deducted between £9-£10 from my wages every week for 3 years. Like I said the laptop still works but really so out of date now it's only useful for word processing.
