I know a few guys/girls from small d/o's,7.15 would be painful for them,9 am start would scare the sh1te out of 'em,they are 6 am start at the moment and a noon finish is late and very annoying for them.I have been trying to tell them,that they have an almighty shock on the way,they seem to think RM will let their little office's stay as they are.

Why?have you had a revision,what's changed?

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.

MC have published proosed revised run time to D.O's in my area, for my D.O they want 2 runs out of the MC rather than 4. New arrival number 1 will be 0545 and new arrival number 2 will be 0645.

IMHO thats good enough to keep IPS duties at 6am start untill sequenced mail revision comes along in late winter/early Spring 2012.NON IPS duties depend on which van has walksorted mail on, if its number 2 then its a lost cause for them to stay on 6am.
