Well obviously the line managers have asked for special permission off the regulators as it would be illegal I would have thought.

Maybe it was one of those mentalists who go out in their own time to do their D2D to 'save time'

Following a recent news story it's most likely that police intelligence doesn't extend to knowledge of our normal working hours -
"Five Muslim community workers have accused MI5 of waging a campaign of blackmail and harassment in an attempt to recruit them as informants.
Two other Muslim men say they were approached by MI5 at their homes after police officers posed as postmen."

not illegal in anyway, they dont need to ask permission to do sunday deliverys etc and even if they did there would be no law against it, you will probably find its an office recently gone through a revision with a backlog and a postie doing some bank holiday ot, or its the pizza leaflet guy using a RM bag and jacket

Re: do posties deliver on bank holidays?
Round my way there is a lady who delivers the freebie paper and uses what looks like a rm bag. Only when you get up close you can see it's very similar with two yellow reflective bands not one. She also wears a orange jacket which again looks rm ish but it's not.zx135 wrote:Pat Ostman wrote:Well obviously the line managers have asked for special permission off the regulators as it would be illegal I would have thought.

Re: do posties deliver on bank holidays?
Never mind Bank Holidays, got our post at 7pm today.
Will be having words with the line manager tomorrow and tell him what I think.
He will more than likely say, well if you did O/T mayble you would get your post earlier and I will tell him what he can do with his O/T.

Ahh, our office apparently had to ask for permission for sunday deliveries during bad weather to clear backlog. Are you sure?zx135 wrote:Pat Ostman wrote:Well obviously the line managers have asked for special permission off the regulators as it would be illegal I would have thought.

Re: do posties deliver on bank holidays?
absolutely no law against it, your office probably had to ask for permission from sector manager for the overtime spend not the permission to deliver on the sunday, there is no law anywhere which prohibits itPat Ostman wrote:Ahh, our office apparently had to ask for permission for sunday deliveries during bad weather to clear backlog.
