dunno about that, mine rusted beyond being use-able within a couple of months

The belts that are issued are genuine older than the Arc antiques I was in the RAF in the early 70s and we were
issued with the same belts and no doubt they had been going for years then. The uniform we have now looks
a disgrace trainers which last about 3 months if your lucky and shorts which make you look like you just jumped
off a skateboard World Class ? I dont think so

Depends on the stock, could be a couple of days or a couple of months.

I have had uniform in as little as 5 days -but in 1 case it took 6 months - its the luck of the draw to be honest.

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.
