I went out 3 Christmases ago, on Christmas Eve, on delivery with a Father Christmas hat, beard, tunic and trousers ( over my uniform ). No one complained, a couple of customers came out and took photos, the children who saw me loved it and i swear, it put £100 on my tips that day. Alas....no more

I can see why you chose your user name. :whistle
Royal Mail managers.....about as popular as a t.urd in a swimming pool!
The DDA/Equality Act demands action,NOT words......adjustments NOT Occupational Health referrals.Case No:2505901/09
Royal Mail is an Equal Opportunities Employer..It discriminates against everybody.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Every year on the last 3 working days before Christmas, me and a couple of others dress up as santa claus to deliver our rounds. All the village love it, and it certainly helps the tips. Cough cough.......not that we do it for the tips, just for the Christmas spirit :dance :dance
