19 when I finish - still like the job as I am one of the lucky guys who has a decent office with managers who work as hard as we do to make it work. I'll miss my workmates but my joints won't miss 8 miles a day pulling a LWT on concrete. I can't see any younger posties putting in twenty years under the present demanding conditions - unless there is room for thirty odd ruined bodies in each office's RLE

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.

But after Wednesday 25th and Thursday 26th we were working Saturday 27th December 2008 and Royal Mail aren't going to be any more generous six years later .

Are you sure? I'm fairly certain that we got that Saturday off, only folk that missed out were those who's day off fell on that saturday as I remember a couple of moaning gits complaining that we all got an extra day!!
