Isn't that DGP?....and isn't "forgets" stretching the truth a little?
He's been using that excuse to walk around "au naturel" for years. :roll:

Hardly a trait exclusive to RM. House prices have been driven to artificially high levels and sustained at high levels despite all reason suggesting that they shouldn't. An economy was built on housing, it is now being propped up by the housing market, and as a consequence, the average age at which people are buying their first house has risen. Most people can barely afford housing or rent, and a wage at RM isn't going to give you much lee-way in this respect.

Always plenty of older blokes who still live at home with mummy at most DOs. Plus you always get a mute. Someone who will only talk to someone if it is ABSOLUTLY neccesary. Anyway, enough about me................................................ : :shock:

There's a guy in our office who does a walk that consists of a load of tower blocks + maisonettes with around 20% being houses.

Nothing strange about that, except he uses a trolley. :hmmmm

He can't take it in the tower blocks or up maisonette steps obviously, so he must just be leaving it all over the place. It's literally the most unsuitable walk you could think of for a trolley. He's that mental though the managers don't even say anything to him about it, despite the dozens of 'failing to safeguard the mail' episodes he must have every day.

Another one is a Jehovah's Witness, he comes into work looking like he's slept in a skip - hair everywhere, ripped trousers and pointy shoes with a bit of shoelace tied through the top 2 holes. He literally sprints around the delivery to finish at 12 every day.

Then people see him out knocking on doors with his briefcase and suit on, hair all tidy and respectable!

Every office must have a couple, smelly tw*ts!

And the weirdos that wear their fleece indoors all summer, christ knows what's wrong with them. Everyone else is sweltering in short sleeves and shorts, and they're sat on IPS with long trousers and a coat on. :crazy:

Yep we've one of those aswell. We were thankful when the new uniform came in because we had a couple of days grace. His old blue trousers were so shiny with dirt you would've thought they were made of silk :Sick
