I have looked for a new job in the last year and even though I am on a part-time 25 hour contract, I refuse to work 40 hours somewhere else for the same take home pay so I will stick to being a postie for now, or at least until I win the lottery :crazy:

Totally agree with what you're saying. I won't jack it in for any old thing, but I'll at least give it a damn good try. Saying that I must be due that lottery win by now too! :crazy:

Out of curiosity do your wages with the monthly matches or exceeds Royal Mail pay scale ? it would be very useful to know.
