Usually the bold weeks/days mean those dates have been taken.
And the .5 usually gets carried over to the next year.

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.

From memory, on the Annual Leave Card aren't the bold/underlined weeks Christmas pressure?
If so, then no holiday allowed during these weeks.

Yes,but if you ask for an updated one weeks that are taken have the bold/underlined thing. Have just checked mine.

Your manager should also be able to look up any given week on the system and see if it's fully booked or not

Hmm in our office we can't book less than a full week until all the full weeks have been decided, we also have to carry less than 3 days over to keep them for "emergency days"
