So what do you do with them then?

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.

Have you had a revision? Do you have park and loop? How far away from the DO are you?

Who told you not to do it? What did they say when you asked what you had to do instead? Did they tell you to go back to the office? What time do they pick you up, whereabouts? Did they give you bus time table and fair?

These things need sorting out before you leave the office on the first day that this new practice is put into action.

you should have asked whoever told you this
If you cant use a PO,why?
If you cant pouch off then you cant take SDs or anything that wont fit through a small letterbox
