I'm sure there is something about car sharing and the like due to lack of space in a document somewhere on the site.
Either way,i'm guessing a lot of you are screwed.

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.

Some in our office take the vans home.. :Applause
quite a few have started biking to work :Applause I admit I am saving on petrol.. :Very Happy ..Our office NOW is just not big enough for RM parking + your own car + the public has no where to park when collecting items from the DO :arrrghhh
I come to work on my bike and there is always a van inside the bike sheds ( only parking space left ) :mad
or better still a couple of Yorks full of trays so where having trouble parking our bikes ??...We've all mentioned it to our DOM.. guess what :cuppa "I'll get on to it"...

We have a lovely big carpark for private cars and RM vans at present, although a bit rough!
In the new revision they are going to tarmac half for the extra vans and the rest for the posties will still be sh!t---thanks?!! :shock:
Yea I know they dont have to provide, but still?? :roll:
