RMCtv : Simon ' Phew what a scorcher' Thompson : 'Don't over heat- just come back to the office'

He then went on to say......"just remember though you will have to make up the hours tomorrow that you have gained today".

This might be how they will try to build up extra time to deliver for longer in the run up to Xmas with the dodgy "annualised hours" proposal, which has no chance of working without a massive change in the rules of delivery engagement.

Which will put posties under pressure to stay out in the heat, because they know they will have to give the time back in the winter. It's patronising waffle.

Remember peeps...
Seek shade: come out of the sun when it’s at its hottest and take your break in the shade

What we need is clear instruction from the top. We know the 2 days of extreme heat are coming.

Monday we could take half the deliveries letters and clear up on the tracked on the the other half. Tue we could reverse it. Least that would get most people back by noon. Then when it cools we have the rest of the week to catch up with hopefully no one getting heatstroke and going off sick for the rest of the week or something worse like DEATH.

This'll be interesting now.
I do terribly all summer anyway (I can march around all winter in exchange, no issues with cold at all) but do they really want to be the company that sends us out in weather that could kill?

Does the 'level system' apply to the full country of England or is it on a county by county basis? Could you have a situation where England is level 4 and Scotland isnt and posties in Carlisle are treated differently from posties in Kilmarnock despite it being the same temperature?

Looking at the Met map only the center southern part of the country is on RED 4 Alert. The rest Amber Alert.

and if people have booked annual leave on either of these days do they get that holiday back if everyone else at the depot doesn't have to come in? Some people may have specifically booked it off recently knowing it was going to be 30 degrees+, yet everyone else gets 2 days free holiday.

I assume we'll have to work at least some of the day as it's not going to be 30 degrees during most of the morning.

Of course we will be they wont suspend the uso because its hot, itll be similar to when theres snow on the ground get the parcels done, do what letters you can, keep safe and if you get book early you cant claim ot for the rest of the week.
