Postman Higher Grade aka Senior Man or Brown Tongue.............

I would say that a senior man is somebody with 19 years service so maybe you might have made an excellent PHG.

You do put people in boxes a lot. Try taking people at face value, just because the senior men at your office are "brown tongues" doesn't' mean that all Senior Men or FTs everywhere else are.

All my opinions are based on my experiences..................

The strange thing is after posting this I read your post about B&H. What they did to you was despicable and beyond contempt and something I try to fight against in my office. In essence they made a judgement on you breaking strike and put you into the "scab" box. All I would say is, after your experience please don't fall into repeating their behaviour but with a different target (box).

I am glad you beat them though, in my outlook on life no real Union supporter should treat another worker the way they treated you. Of course I am disappointed when workers don't strike, but I wouldn't bully or harass them for having a different opinion, but then I wouldn't shy away from explaining why I think they were misguided in their decision.

My " OPG Locker Man" is brilliant and would fit the title PHG (as he basically does have a LOT of Service).
I would support the re-introduction of the PHG BUT I think in many DOs it would just be dolled out to the DOM's Favourites.... Therefore it's probably a good thing that it disappeared. I agree though that a lot of youngsters just use it for the "Man in the Locker"!
