you have to ring the driver when you want your next loop
That's a strange version of P&L eastie.
The idea of the loops is that you both loop back to the van.
The loops should also be about 40mins long.
For me that's about 3-4 bundles plus packets. :neutral:
Maybe it's a performance issue with me.... :left: :shock:
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I was off for 3 days a few weeks back with a sickness virus and felt totally crap. If you stuck a £50 note on a tree outside my house i would not have been well enough to take it. Why cant they just leave people alone when they are sick :arrrghhh
Because they are bullyboys and the union is weak as f**k, busy having debates and writing strong pamphlets and designing posters with hard hitting slogans that nobody takes the blind bit of notice of. :roll: Still lashings of beer and sarnies cut into triangles goes down well at their annual conferences. :cuppa

Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

Don't mind using my mobile to phone in Undelivered Specials & Tracked...Ever since I was show the REVERSE telephone no. :Very Happy Strange how the DIM never made it publicly known at a WTL session? :hmmmm

He can phone my mobile, I switch it off at home (just in case the CIA are tracking me) and he'll never get my home number! :no no

How else does he contact you when you are out on delivery to tell you another one of your members has been lifted by the IB?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Whilst I am doing my loop the driver does his loop which is shorter and does the large parcels for both loops, when I finish I call my p/l driver.
Our loops dont finish back at the same place :d'oh! :d'oh!

Work has my mobile number. I never answer them, but they have my number to make pointless phone calls if they want to.

Eastie,you now have your managers number. :whistle
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.
