:shock: ImageImageGlad i was on the easiest walk in the office.
Loads of tower blocks and flats,so i didn't get soaked till i walked home.
What a mare,i feel sorry for the ones who done a 3-4 hr walk.

Our DOM poked his head out the door at 0700 and said 'It's not too bad!
No reason not to do the delivery.'

A few years back in my old office,the snow and ice was really,really bad,i was on lates and came in on docket,went out for 1-2 hr and knocked it and came back.
Word from 'up the road' was 'let them do just one delivery' it was soooo dangerous under foot,how the rep let them go was beyond me.
All it needed was one local office to refuse and the rest would of followed,there would of been no come back.
There has to be hurricane a tsunami and an earth quake going on before deliveries are suspended..................then again.

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.
