Of course, you don't think the great caring Royal Mail will let you spend it with your family do you?
Unless of course your name is Greene,Hayes,ward,Gibson etc...

Re: Christmas Saturday
It's still spring, we've got the summer and autumn to get through first, and someone's thinking ahead to Christmas over seven months away.
I think they should get out more.

Re: Christmas Saturday
Hopefully RM will apply to the regulator for the 26th Dec to be a non service day, if they don't then night shifts will probably be back in at 00:00 on the saturday and early and weekend shifts and DOs will be in at whatever time they'd normally be due to be in at on a Saturday
