What do you do at break time in the old days?

Post by Limey »

I am a postman for 5 years or so.

I notice that there's a unused pool hidden in a spare room at my Delivery Office lol.

But ofc now we never have a time to play a game of pool those days! =/
Should be a good morale boost!

What stuff do you do during your break? Something good that we didn't know? Ping Pong? :p

We have a pool table.
We used to have table tennis and Air Hockey.
To be honest we now spend most of our breaks bitching about management.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

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.
