Same applies why you still in job do enough moaning. about it.
What's with the bully boy tactics from you Aiden? Do you hate your work colleagues?

Hop on over to a delivery office, I'm sure you'd change your tune mighty quickly.
Exactly. They have no idea. Even our manager said mail centre employees should spend a week a year on delivery to see how it is.
Every duty below 'management' is classed as an OPG, so hopefully that will happen sooner rather than later. :chuckle
RM would have to provide transport as MC staff wouldn't be able to drive to a DO as it wouldn't be their usual place of work (car insurance)

Plenty of spare vans at MCs during the day. We used to regularly have to borrow them when i was a postie.

As I recall, the majority of collections drivers don't start till after midday.

Very few small vans used in MCs these days. Near enough the smallest vans used in MCs now are sprinters and with the axing of most of the Skynet runs potentially coming up, the sprinters could well get axed as well. Any vans would need to be back at the MC by about midday. DOs might not be able to borrow MC vans and vice versa these days as there's probably no budget for doing so. Don't know about DOs but budget has generally come first for a good few years now in MCs

Well then, I'm calling bullshit on your claim that DOs borrowed vans from MCs during the summer. You don't work for RM anymore so it doesn't matter where you used to work. :cuppa
