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.

You get what is above,and the bank holidays,technically some bank holidays are part of our 'legal minimum' requirement which is 28 days AL,but that is probably confusing matters.

It would depend on if you have migrated to the new system :hmmmm no I wouldn't think so. It's a more complicated system than RM may think with longs, shorts etc. For example Tues to Thurs I work 5.5 hrs - Saturdays just 3 - sooooooooo if I took 5 saturdays @ 3 hours I would be owed 1 day @ 5 hrs...... It was a system adopted at a previous firm I worked and it was a real ball ache at the end of the financial year. I had to arrange to bring people in for a half day holiday or pay overtime for 2/3/4 hours.
