Return to office then if you feel the need.

I don't. I'm lucky enough to be on a toilet friendly duty.

Well walk log to the rescue,'comfort break' is listed at the delivery office so all the drama for nothing,Manager can't do anything about it including the time it takes to drive to and from the office.After speaking again to the union they can't understand why he's pursuing it,simple answer is he doesn't like me because im not part of his brown nose brigade and refuse to be bullied.

It's not necessarily that. When line managers get desperate, they time everything thats not walk related. Meaning you should do everything quicker to give you more time walking. He wants to count your 'to and from office' as break time, just to get a few minutes more delivery out of you. Pathetic really.

Should be on your frame somewhere, ask the nearest colleague to you.
It's basically a log of your walk.Toilet stops, houses with dogs ect.

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.
