As far as I know it's five weeks leave for twenty years service which then rises to six weeks at twenty five years.

The percentage you pay changes but HR don't notify you. Take the POAL figure and see what % that is of your gross wage it should be 2% for each full week of additional leave you purchase. So roughly in your case around 0.8%

It's 4 weeks and 2.5 days,it should all be on your holiday sheet.

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.

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