There is no agreement not to either.
Specifics like the number of D2D were not mentioned in the agreement...only in the vague "guidelines" released after the agreement was voted in where it says they are "expected" to increase to 6 in Jan 2011.
Do you honestly think Royal Mail can afford to turn away business because of a guideline?

Not really a problem is it ? More prep time, more drop bags ,less walk completed. Course if you're running round like a headless chicken trying to make some time then I can understand your annoyance, but remember job and finish is long gone and RM abhors a vacuum
How does it go,get the s**t,prep the s**t,deliver (try anyway) the s**t........... Kids uh?

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

You'll be singing a different tune then you smug looking fool.
I agree - "Jon Swatton" - What a plank!
The courier is full of sh*te
working for Royal Mail, is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.......
Almost the perfect illustration of how a profit driven business differs from a public service. Who else would consider a pizza promo door drop to be as important as a hospital appointment?
I can recall some anti strike propaganda video showing granny Smith and nephew Billy close to tears because of mail delayed by strike action ; maybe some enterprising individual could do a remake with the cause of delay being a double glazing leaflet.
I think D2Ds are fantastic. I come home from a hard days graft out in te cold, make myself a nice cuppa, sit down in front of the tv and throw another wad of D2Ds on in the wood burner... ya just can't beat it!

Just goes to show what you know then missy, if that's what you think!!!
Strongly suggest you visit a WBC and find out exactly what we do, you would also find out that while I may be a prat (and probably worse) I am certainly not smug, just a realist
I actually do sympathise with the posties who have to handle door to door mail in its current format but the sooner you realise that its what keeps you in full time employment the better

The customers don't appreciate TV license reminders (more so when they don't have a TV), they don't appreciate bills or council tax communications.
They don't appreciate being cited for jury duty or reminders about dental appointments.
They certainly don't appreciate the parking tickets/speeding fines.
In fact if I only delivered stuff customers "appreciated" then I probably would only do one bag a day.
I'd only need to work about 2 hours a day. Wouldn't that be brilliant?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
I don't see why people are *still* complaining about D2Ds. The more time I spend in the office prepping them, the better, especially as things get busier (and colder!) Whatever means I spend less time marching the streets, the better.

There you go once again mouthing off and missing my point,all the other stuff is addressed mail ,d2d is not addressed and not even very well targeted so stuff like double glazing adverts in an area that is mostly student flats and bed sits isn't going to get many customers is it?,likewise domino pizza's at £12 + a time isn't much use to a lot of old people is so calm down,have a beer or joint and stop getting excited,are you like this with your wife or civil partner?
