The amount of mags I segged yesterday it felt like I was working in W H Smith
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

I have a surgery on my duty and for some reason when the magazines come out all the doctors and nurses get one each. A bundle to that doctors can sometimes be 3 - 5kg on its own. :shock: . Good thing is its towards the end of the walk and just after a safe drop.

I cover rural rounds. Garden catalogues, holiday catalogues, Screwfix & National Trust catalogues are the bane of my life. Oh, & lets not forget the SAGA mags!

Drivers should take that!! I take our schools and Docs as well.

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.

Silly me I thought this thread was going to be about some miracle cure that could change the attitude of managers.
