Yes you are right (smarterdarter) any mail must be delivered or attempted to delivered or keepsafe if the postie leave's it in the office he will be done for willful delaly, the school's will go mad at the postman,royalmail will get rich & the press should have it splashed across the front page's

Hold on,tell you what,go to one of your firms and ask for a freebie.
Or go to your nearest school and ask for free home teaching for your kids.
Yeah you know what the answer will be,a big fat NO.
So why should we give out freebies,f**k em,they should pay.
Both sets take it for granted,especially the schools.

I just want :lfo & :cfo to come out of hideing and take this dispute seriously instead of hideing up each other ass hole's,we all know postmen/women have a bond with their customers/drop point's how many postmen/postwomen have a bag droped at the local school? i'd say a lot more weight for the postie's to carry around all for royalmail's greed we will not see any of this money. sorry for poor grammar

How long will it be before RM start charging the public for not sending any letters?

Most of the schools in our office are bulk drops and would be done by a driver except during holidays. The mail is just kept under the frame in letter trays.

How can RM charge schools when there is actually less work to do?

i can see the charge being justified if the delivery point is accessable during the holiday period.eg the school just dont want mail during the holidays.
if its a case of the school building being shut with no letterbox then RM cant charge it.what are they going to do? condemn the mail during the holidays? no they have no option but to hold the mail.

in our office we have a mix of van/foot school deliveries in our office.

however we do have some who collect mail from the office(firms & residential) for various reasons.i previously queried this as they were not paying.
got the manager shrug.
some a moaning faced twats who come in too early before the mails up and cause hassle so i will be happy to tell them they have to pay :D

I hate to say it Postman, but i do get freebies and staff discounts from some of the firms i deliver to, anything from 10%-40%. I don't expect it and i don't abuse their generosity.

The best firm of all though is one of the jewellers i deliver to, who has made 3 seperate pieces for me in silver and not charged me. Every year he closes his business for 2 weeks in the summer. Every year he puts in a keepsafe (for which RM charges). Every year RM f**k up his keepsafe and every year i make sure he gets compensation.

Fair do's some of you,different round my way they just moan.
But in all fairness the revenue lost has to be quite big.
Not trying to sound like :lfo :cfo but there's a lot of libertys being taken by some.
A bit of a grey area me thinks.
