Collections staff use new groundbreaking technology

Post by shipmaster122 »

Today I realised how well this 'modernisation' is going for my own eyes.

After rushing down to the post office to drop off a letter, I noticed the collections man next to his mini red van with a shopping trolley full of mail sacks, loading each sack into his van from the trolley. :shock:

Yes, that's right. A shopping trolley.

Forget Yorks, shopping trolleys are the latest mail logistics innovation. I've spoken to my local DO manager to discuss the possibility of buying RM branded trolleys for added pride. :wink:

And what do you expect him to use?

I'd prefer the ram raid tactic, where you reverse through the doors and up to the counter but bloody H&S stepped in, they just don't understand how little time we've got :nervous :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

Lol. Its not really my opinion, just something I found on the net. Ive seen it with my own eyes how hard working some people are within rm, just a shame most dont get noticed.. Oh and were not rough enough to need to put a pound in for the trolley. Not like in some areas Ive seen, kids with trolleys in their back gardens.. What is the world coming to.. Anyway, thats a different story alltogether. :cuppa

Just out of interest, do you hold any more opinions that you believe in strongly enough to put forward as your representation on the net for the world to see and yet cast aside as soon as someone makes reference to it ?

"Oh and were not rough enough" - You can take the person out of the rough but....... :roll:

Its - It's
Dont - Don't
Were - We're
Ive - I've
Alltogether ?
Question mark after "What is the world coming to"

"You can take the person out of the rough but" LOL. It's not really my opinion, just something I found on the net :whistle

Oh I do apologise, I posted it via my relatively down-market mobile phone.

Please see some of my other posts to see that I try to use correct grammar where appropriate.

Again, sorry if any offence was caused, but do see some of my other posts for reference.

not at all, my post's are full of errors and rightly so, folks post on here to be heared not be judged by the likes of me, however I can't be doing with folks that are so keen to say or "avatar" one thing and then ditch it at the drop of a hat and to judge others from "rough" areas and yet complain when stones come through their glass house

:chuckle :chuckle TBH you started the grammar bit, I don't know what's going on between you and shipmaster but you really shouldn't take things so seriously...........otherwise I usually end up in the naughty room (and I was doing so well :chuckle ). :crazy:

Im unsure of what the problem is. Do you want me to spellcheck everything or should I have a blank avatar? The avatar came about from a quick search under royal mail, and I used it with the intention of it just being something funny. However, when the avatar was mentioned I stressed that it wasnt my opinion - I am a ppi customer who has a generally good overall opinion of royal mail.
