Is this the MC?

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.

Its up and running,i have breakfast there,not cooked,if the cooked breakfasts are anything like Watford it'll be 'orrible and overpriced for what you get,i opt for cereals and/or toast,breakfast is 7.30-9.30 unsure about lunch and evening opening hours.

Not many tables on the first day i went there,then later in the week more tables appeared,which i now know to have come from the watford canteen,its looking pretty bear in there at the moment :shock:

Hi thanks for your reply, went for the interview today and had a good nosey about, i see what you mean by bare, also think the menu is limited, everyone was very friendly tho. I understand that it opens at night on Halloween, thought that was ironic as i,m a goth and thats my favourite day of the year, don,t know if i,ll be there cause don,t know if they liked me, but time will tell......... many thanks

The food so far at HCN (which I take it is where we're talking about) is better than at the old mail Centre.
