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.

Seems he is ok, they were "weak" punches but didn't want to risk fighting back.

He was approached by a man wearing a balaklava who showed him a gun and asked for the keys to the van. He opened the van and rummaged around in the back of it after a few minutes he stopped went back to the Postie and hit him twice. The postie was back at work the next day obviously shaken.

Once again the details of what the assailant looked like is open to interpretation :Very Happy

We were told that "he"? was wearing a baseball cap and a bandana around his/her face :crazy:
