Revision questions

[Indy]

Have been told that when our next revision goes in that all walks will be done with 2 OPG's and a van. From what I can see here hardly anyone drives....

1) Can people with a driving licence be forced to drive for RM

2) how do the 2 people working together get picked? choice/allocated?

3) I don't think that there are enough people on FTC for them to let go the number of walks they intend on getting rid of. How does/will that work?

4) Can anyone offer any practical advice on the implementation of 'Pegasus' the RM walk making system. A large number of people are very worried.

1) Can people with a driving licence be forced to drive for RM
>> Not sure that anyone can be forced.. But more recent arrivals to RM (like myself) have a contract that includes occassional driving

2) how do the 2 people working together get picked? choice/allocated?
>>> I would guess at Local Bloody Agreement

3) I don't think that there are enough people on FTC for them to let go the number of walks they intend on getting rid of. How does/will that work?
>>> Sadly; it wont

4) Can anyone offer any practical advice on the implementation of 'Pegasus' the RM walk making system. A large number of people are very worried.

>>> They should be worried. The bottom line (as far as I can see) is that Pegasus is the most glorified Time and Motion exercise. It does not work. Full stop.

My views only; and of course I may be a cynic

1. You cannot be forced to drive but refusing to drive may limit your duty options.
2. Seniority is used to allocate duties. Obviously though 2 non drivers cannot pick into a P&L duty. The floaters and reserves need to be drivers.
3. If surplus staff are identified then either they get to go to a different office with vacancies or EVR may be offered.
4. Make sure your A+ is accurate. Make sure all delivery points are captured and properly plotted. That is a start.

i agree

aplus
packet and over size packets are a must to record prior to starting the revision process

the nail in our coffin is the lowest traffic figures, weeks 11 to 17 they use and 100 % bloody BSI

If surplus staff are identified then either they get to go to a different office with vacancies or EVR may be offered.
in the above option MTSF MAY BE NEEDED

would the driver also have to post - just in a different area/ street ??

Yes the driver has to post.
You do loops and meet back at the van.

Ask anyway. Fishtank will probably know the answer

You can bypass the Wiki thing by using cached pages.

Schoolboy error FT... you've found the site for Rubisco, and that's the enzyme which catalyses the carboxylation of RuBP and Carbon Dioxide to a 6 Carbon compound... And I've got my HUGE biology book so I don't need it...

But thank you anyway xx

P.S. If anyone's interested, it's regenerated in the Calvin Cycle during the Light Independent stage of photosynthesis from GALP (glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate)

though what Calvin has to do with photosynthesis I don't know - hope it helps

I made a lot of those.
It's why i'm a postman.
Was the rest of your post in Welsh?

It might as well be! Kreb can keep his bike to himself too! And you forgot Calvin's "Lollipop apparatus"!

The exam board is WJEC so I don't think I could even get away with writing it in Welsh (even if I could). They remind you of the requirement for good English on the front page too. I think that's what they say. I don't read good.

Looks like a 1950s telly taken apart
