And then of course there's the winter...................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.

London Vs The WORLD
I get inner London waiting and spend lots of my Money OOP NORTH.. So you northern Monkeys should thank me and every man jack of us that come above the Watford gap to sub you peasants a few quid... Now Manchester isnt much of a backwater and lots of the Cheshire jet set spend enough ive seen.... But the facts are LONDON IS ONE OF THE MOST EXSPENSIVE PLACES IN THE WORLD TO LIVE AND WORK...

The theatre - I have heard there is a lot of luvvies down there - and THAT doesn't come cheap you know. TBH we should be sending them a little something each week - we don't need all the money we are paid - No No - what the hell would we spend it on? - you've seen one dark satanic mill and the coal mine you've seen it all really. Once you've got your flat cap and the whippets been fed and you've put 50p in the meter - send the rest to those sophisticates down south, they know a thing or two about culture - hellfire who else would have thought of pie and mash and jellied eels and all that haute cuisine. No! it's the simple life for us boys leave the high living to those who can afford it.TrueBlueTerrier wrote:It happens in every job I did, London is more expensive to live so they get an allowance for working there, it helps keep posties and others in their jobs.
I wonder if there would be any chance of getting an allowance for ..............
As far as I am aware I have definitely NOT had the joys of an explicanation - but - Hey I'm broad minded whatever turns you Southern Guys on - I can imagine after a night at the ballet - all those guys in tight leotard keks - spending a bit of the allowance in the gay bars and the next thing you know your waking up next to some toothless Fagin lookalike totally explicanted - hey what the hell... Lets not open the north south divide as that does not help nobody, anyway I have never moaned about going to blackburn and getting a round of drinks in (for 4 people) and getting change of a tenner!!
Now that the dreaded VOTE went wonky for the true working class of this job you northern boys n girls can negotiate for a yorkshireman/ANYMAN... to get you all NON LONDON WAITING... ahhhhh??? And to think you call us SOUTHERN SOFTYS AND ALL THAT.. Stick the dumby back in ya gobs n shut it Im watching the Opera and i cant hear a thing but 4 you PEASANTS!!!
OUT :lfo :cfo

I have got a couple of questions here:
Whats central heating?
Whats a spit roast? Don't for gods sake say you spit on the dog when he's on the fire.
Snow is something we practice writing in - you'll see if ever you come North - yellow writing probably extolling the wonders of E=MC² or some other simple task - we usually do it in one wee as well.
And as for Tommo our Northern girls are really grateful for your custom - they say it's easy money - I have no idea what they are talking about of course.

North / south divide
Just so you know the beer is much nicer up north, i think i deserve a pay rise to drink more of it.
The is a valid reason for london postmen to have more money and it is this. If you were working in the same area as :lfo tweedle dee and :cfo tweedle dum, wouldn't you want extra. I call it the moron allowance, for putting up with the morons on their doorstep they get extra.
I use to charge a moron allowance, every time i went on a certain round, a bloke who use to work with us, and who is a gibbering idiot, lives their. Use to bug me everytime i went on that walk. The crazy thing is, i got it as well. Even told the manager why i was claiming it and he just laughed.

Re: North / south divide
Maybe we could outsource tweedle dum and tweedle dee to india with a consummate drop in earning's potential that maybe be the kick up the back side for the coffee drinking brigade!.leiwolf wrote:Just so you know the beer is much nicer up north, i think i deserve a pay rise to drink more of it.

Re: North / south divide
Thats a really bloody great idea, at least over their they can't cause too much trouble, now can they. I know leighton and crozier got their eyes on the england manager job, but surely these two can't make it worstk979aaa wrote:Maybe we could outsource tweedle dum and tweedle dee to india with a consummate drop in earning's potential that maybe be the kick up the back side for the coffee drinking brigade!.leiwolf wrote:Just so you know the beer is much nicer up north, i think i deserve a pay rise to drink more of it.

And that is all dependent on them getting off their fat arse's when the phone ring's not much chance then!. I was thinking the rickshaw buisness would be right up their street after all their lack of investment in this service would not look to remiss over their or would it!?.dvbuk55 wrote:Maybe they could be in a call centre, then when I'm ringing to complain I might get someone who speaks English for a change.
