Xmas cheer

[smartecosse]

I'm quite enjoying Xmas as there are a few postie's in our DO that have been there for years and seem to have anout 6 packets in total on their entire route and are normally back for 12.30 to 1 every day.

Now it's getting busy with packets they have spat the dummy out the pram at their "heavy" workload.

Welcome to the real world :)

What time are they supposed to finish at? Potentially perfect candidates to have extra added to their walks

Know what you mean Mate. You can always tell when it's starting to get busy for "The Chosen Few" as they start Grizzling and asking for help to deliver their "Really Big" duties. They normally ask, "Why is HE getting help with his Delivery, when I'M not getting any help"? Probably because He's now got a really Massive Delivery, and the Christmas Pressure has basically only brought YOUR Delivery up the size it should have been for the other 48 weeks of the year Dick Head!

The RM Xmas Cheer.
Ebeneezer Scrooge: played by Coffee Swiller
Bob Cratchit: played by R.M Postie.

Open Delivery office floor.

“You’ll want all day to-morrow, I suppose?” said Scrooge. (the Lino)

“If quite convenient, sir.”

“It’s not convenient,” said Scrooge (the Lino), “and it’s not fair. If I was to stop half-a-crown for it, you’d think yourself ill-used, I’ll be bound?”

The clerk smiled faintly.

“And yet,” said Scrooge (the Lino), “you don’t think me ill-used, when I pay a day’s wages for no work.”

The clerk (Postie) observed that it was only once a year.

“A poor excuse for picking a man’s pocket every twenty-fifth of December!” said Scrooge (the Lino), buttoning his great-coat to the chin. “But I suppose you must have the whole day. Be here all the earlier next morning.” (and don't forget your lapsing.)

I may have sliiiightly plagiarized someone else's work here, but I haven't the Dickens who's work it could have been

Very Good MarkIt. Bit too deep for some though. But if the CONservatives get in next week we'll have to get used to a bit more of a "Dickensian World".

pauper's graves and workhouses for rees-mogg's and boris bumble's underclass, anyone? servitude and modern slavery for bezos, Ashley and Back? (in last 10 years) 46% child poverty (now) and 170% rise in homelessness in the 5th richest country in the world! 17% payrise for the queen and 9% cut in corporation tax: meaning that companies pay less in tax @ 19% than anyone receiving the State Pension,Jobseeker’s Allowance (JSA),Carer’s Allowance,contribution-based Employment and Support Allowance (ESA),Incapacity Benefit (from the 29th week you get it),Bereavement Allowance,pensions paid by the Industrial Death Benefit scheme,Widowed Parent’s Allowance,Widow’s pension which are ALL TAXED at 20%.
Tory Austerity policy has killed 140, ooo (one hundred and forty thousand people) since 2010 and was paid for entirely by Welfare reform.

We are not in this together. They are culling us off to benefit the rich and still there is such a thing as working class/underclass tory voters?????? WTF!

Had one today ... Low Level Letterbox .... Bent down to put the mail through and nearly poked my Bastard Eye out on a piece of twig they had incorporated into this Bloody Christmas Wreath! Not Impressed, I say have a word when I see them.

[ssdd]

I came across a letterbox like this today and was like - so...do these people not want any post.....decided they didn't and put it back in my bag. Then thought, maybe it's due to the wind.

[ssdd]

Yeah Norris, get a few where I am, also sometimes they just stick a cloth/teatowel hanging out, but at least you can get the mail through easier.

[ssdd]

Parking in MY spot?! Bah! Humbug!
