What this thing?...
Hand-stamping tool
Can't see the problem there was extreme vigorous testing...
We trialled six shortlisted hand-stamp tools at Banbury and Mount Pleasant delivery offices to arrive at the best model for the job.

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.

Re: Who designed the new 3 wave Cancellation Mark
We got those little Red stamps, which to be honest weren't that bad, the problem came when the ink ran out and nobody had thought to order the replacement pads. Instead of a Low Tech stamp with ink pad they required you to replace the little incorporated pad.
Obviously the spotty young consultant had taken his money and run!
Now it's back to putting a biro through it again.

Re: Who designed the new 3 wave Cancellation Mark
Yeah I did go through a couple before I returned to the pen! Just thought it was a bit short sighted not to be able to refill them. I hate this throw away society. Thanks for the tip though.postpersondorset wrote: ↑18 Jan 2022, 17:57

Re: Who designed the new 3 wave Cancellation Mark
Was the ink pad in them actually replaceable though? They might have been glued in placeDorset Plodder wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 14:18We got those little Red stamps, which to be honest weren't that bad, the problem came when the ink ran out and nobody had thought to order the replacement pads.

Re: Who designed the new 3 wave Cancellation Mark
I'm sure it was SP .... about 2cm square .... I'll double check tommorrow as I've still got one on my frame. I went as far as asking at a printing shop I deliver to about ink. He said he could order me a bottle to refill the pad. Some people had a go at rubbing a marker pen over it .... worked for a while but not long.SpacePhoenix wrote: ↑18 Jan 2022, 19:26

Good idea but just not thought through enough.

Re: Who designed the new 3 wave Cancellation Mark
Back in the day, this bloke helped to invent 'Wave1' it was quite successful but obviously...
Then this bloke was brought in to oversee wave 2, this is him testing it through virtual reality...
