Post by johnnyp »

Thats what i had on a walk i done today :shock: Went in on my rest day and picked up a duty on docket,not my own walk,one that none of our reserves picked this week ,so a few of us have been going in on our rest days.Anyway i was throwing off the mech bundles first and came across 6 or7 R/Ds in one of them,noticed they were all from the same sender,carried on throwing off and more started to appear :crazy: ,all first class, by the time i had thrown off i had a bundle of R/Ds on top of the frame :mad time for a count up :nervous 41of the feckers,38 from the same company all going to 4 blocks of yuppie flats,no doubles :evil/mad Went to the RLE to get my Reg :whistle ,8 waiting for me there :cry Went to the manager and asked her what the score was :nervous Did i have to take them all?No half :Very Happy did i have to get signatures?Yes of course you fool :d'oh! So off i went,29 items to get signatures for :chuckle Got rid of 2 of the bulk R/Ds they were new parking permits,4 of the reg,and 2 of the other R/Ds,ended up with 21 739s :Boo hoo! Finished a lot later then i wanted to,and it was fecking freezing.Hope the bloke on it tomorrow has better luck with the 19 i left him :whistle

Yes, I used to work for AnPost in Ireland, got 61 recorded one day. Aparrently, over there, if you object to some planning permission, everyone gets an acknowledgment by Recorded, so if a load of neighbours object to summat, the postie's banjaxed. Thankfully, a couple of the night lads did it on OT and I just got on with the normal stuff.

It is all a subtle ploy by :lfo and :cfo make the majority of the service so shite by cutting staff and reducing moral.

Punters are then unsure of the reliability of the service they pay extra for S/D's

Result bigger bonuses for the top brass.

A few years ago I had 38 Mail sort Recordeds on one day all TV licence telling them they did nit have one. (I thought they would know that).

Went to my lineo and he said ok knock and get sigs if they are in if not endorse as delivered so I did. Before working properly I did threaten to cut off.

But yours Johnny well done mate ImageImageImage ImageImageImage

You aint gonna thank me for saying this but surely it is wrong to be told to "wilfully delay" half of those RDs. Once again RM bending the rules to suit themselves

Well those numbers are chicken feed boys! There was once a dispute about planning to an area to which I delivered which involved the County Council, and of the 608 drops there was more than 550 Recorded Deliveries, all A4. I asked the DOM if it was necessary to get a signature and he said YES, the pillock. It wasn't just my delivery though, the whole of the area about 6 deliveries were involved.

Anyway, this was before the 3.5 hour delivery, and my all up time was 11.50 and I was still in the office at 9.30 - so I took 140 drops calculating that 1 minute per knock/739 would be it - and it was.

A manager was sent out to check on me because the DOM said he thought I was taking the pee - well I was 10 minutes over and went back to the office to book it. It took 4 other posties to complete the delivery on overtime. Somebody had cocked up by accepting Recorded on that scale and I was buggered if I was going to pull their nuts out of the fire.
