We only cleared 30% of our rounds on Saturday.
We have not yet made the list.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

What - you mean - this isn't happening...

We also provide targeted support to those offices to address their challenges and restore our service to the high standard our customers would normally receive.

What I can't understand is that there are clearly walks going out every single day, yet the uncovered ones are going out once a week if lucky.

I was stood looking at frames with ten to twelve perstops of sequenced and IPS next to them yesterday, when I got back ;wondering how many hospital letters, insurance documents and other important mail, especially to non-savvy Internet older people, were in amongst them.

It really is a shocking state of affairs. How is the Regulator not crawling up RM's ass right now?

In our DO you have OPGs who have managed to keep their duties up to date...whether it be by skipping breaks, working their days off, coming in early, having a decent duty or just being efficient posties, doesn't really matter.

Fact is, their duties are going out every day and not failing. If a manager was to start taking them off their duties to cover others that aren't going out then I should imagine all hell would break loose and the last remnants of morale would sever and snap. The OPG would think 'what's the point?' and the duties that weren't failing would start failing and it'd all be an even bigger mess than it is now.

And Simon's list of failing DOs would become of truly biblical proportions....

Several posts on a local Facebook group complaining of no post for over a week, missing letters and cards etc etc. A few replies say that the office isn't on the official RM list so people can't understand why there are problems. The public view seems to be that everything is fine or everything is s**t.
Royal Mail
failing the workforce, failing the public and deliberately failing mail on a daily basis for too many years.

The street I live on hasn't had a delivery for a week now ( apart from tracked ) , about 2/3rds of the rounds had full or partial failures yesterday and the office is not " on the list "

Goodness only knows what state some of these offices must be in
