Packets and flats flooding into my office..........plenty of OT for some people but it won't take too long for people to stop doing it, the revision doesn't look like it's going to encourage people to continue doing OT for much longer :nervous

General update
Our service from Stansted Airport to Exeter was not able to convey all of the mail last night and a quantity needed to be transferred to road services. This may cause some delay to some mail posted yesterday in the South East and East Anglia, due for delivery today in Devon and Cornwall.

Capacity was exceeded at our National Distribution Centre on the last service from there to our Jubilee Mail Centre. This may cause some delay to some mail due for delivery today in GU. KT and TW postcodes.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

And Managers who know NOTHING about the job..... :Boo hoo!
And after a while, you can work on points for style,
Like the club tie, and the firm handshake,
A certain look in the eye and an easy smile.

You have to be trusted by the people that you lie to,
So that when they turn their backs on you,
You'll get the chance to put the knife in.
