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.

Not had many to collect but it's been noticed that a high percentage of the parcels collected do not have the correct amount of postage paid :crazy:

Now I understand why no planners want to discuss walks with postmen.
In response to you have a D2D w/c 22/11, 3 have already decided they will have to leave mail.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I suspect a lot of these won't make their destination!

Absolute madness to be putting even More pressure on posties in what will be the most difficult Christmas in Royal Mail history for the humble post person. Madness. Absolutely disgusting.

If they're going to be going out to most if not every sinlge last DP in the country, then why not have them addressed and made suitable for machine sorting, then they could be machine sorted and sequenced

If they're going to every address this would be absolutely pointless. As D2D it'll go as and when rather than giving every walk a 100% call rate. Not to mention those that get missorted by the mech turning up randomly later.

If they come through as DSA then they'd come under the "Deliver to Spec" in areas where MCs have implemented that. RM could tweak the software to recognise postings by RM and change how the machines handle them

I don't know if he's winding me up
