I am a retired postman of 33 years service, and even though i did not receive any stamps last xmas, i was told by some old mates, colleagues, that all retirees should still receive the free stamps at xmas.
Anyone got any idea on this subject please.

Your colleagues probably still have a drawer full of them and think they still get them ;-)

There will be a major announcement on the site and a mass email to the registered email address that we have for you when we know.

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.

It's a piss take mate. A yearly thing that usually starts around Oct. But if you're not in the know then......I guess it ain't funny :d'oh!

Perhaps we can use these stamps wisely for a FOIM request for the CEO of Royal Mail that he disclose all his interests tax returns and share holdings in this land and Europe!
