Bigal. The only one who didn't make a mistake was crucified o a cross a long time ago. :sad:
Try not to worry although, with the current attitude of managers, that might be difficult. :thumbup

IF the collection keys are in the red bag that went to Preston mail centre and hopefully they are then in theory they are reasonable secure because they are not technically outwith RM control and if discovered would be returned.
On completing the collection boxes on Saturday does the collection keys not have to be recorded back in by OPG at the same time as returning van keys?
On return to work you will have to notify your manager just in case these keys are not found in red bag and arrangements will have to be made to block pillar boxes on this collection route.
Best scenario keys turn up in red bag at Preston mail centre and depending on your manager a wrap round the knuckles for your carelessness and possibility of counselling or 1 year on your record depending on any previous disciplinary awards.
Worst scenario keys not found and pillar boxes on route to be blocked the possibility of a 2 year serious warning on your record again depending on any previous disciplinary awards.
Get your union rep involved whatever the outcome
Hope all goes well.
