The only reason people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.

Won't be today now will it. My personal guess is the deal will include:
A pay raise from date of agreement but no backdated pay.
Pension changes depending on change of law via the government.
Up to one hour later start times based on distance from mail centres.
Additional 12 minutes later start time from loss of one hour working time per week.
Further mechanisation in mail centres resulting in more absorption, lapsing, and loss of walks.
Proposal of two hour time window for tracked items.
The views I express here are mine alone and do not represent the views of Royal Mail Group.

Nope, to further mechanise RM would near enough have to replace all existing machines
