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.

Was it a Clarice Cliff bowl that got broken?

Broken gates, plant pots, a lamp, a vase and a phone but all while properly doing my job, don't know why people still put things through windows when you know it's only going to back and bite you on the arse :roll:

You shouldn't be leaving stuff anyway ?? Docket left and continue ! Part of the reason we are in this mess is by people cutting the job up , racing round and dropping off parcels etc on doorstep or in this case through windows ?? Who trained you to do this .... No one should have ! So don't - do job proper ! Rant over

I thought I might have scratched a car the other week, but I'm not sure. They weren't in and didn't complain, so meh. The only thing I've definitely broken is a garden light, one of those little ones that you embed in the ground - they look a bit like UFOs. It wasn't my fault that it reared up and attacked me. They're so cheap and crap that the owner probably didn't even notice it was broken.
