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.

Karrimor walking socks from Sports Direct are good. £5.99 for 3 pairs. Two packs does me for 6 months but don’t tumble dry them.

Always wear Bridgedale, Not cheap but helped me through 33 years on deliveries. And yes keep them toenails trimmed.
Also wear Berghaus waterproof bottoms, don’t end up over your shoes, also they fit properly

1000 mile, double layer walking socks. They keep the chill off your toes, great support on your arches, not cheap though so get them from Santa.
