Edinburgh mail centre has supposedly been shut since 2pm today with back shift and nightshift being told not to attend. As weather is meant to deteriorate overnight I take it delivery staff won’t need to attend? Does anyone know if there has been any decision on this?

I’d be surprised too but there’s been nothing mentioned about delivery at all

Please read the Announcement Severe weather threads : Updated 2018 especially Attendance in Severe Weather (Good thread with lots of info)
I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
