sorry, i think i didn't write the question out correctly, wat i mean was the round ill b doing this week has relief on it (so a portion of the round u don't take most of the week because it would put the time for the round way beyond wats achieveable) the answer i would like to know is, u r expected too take this on lighter days in the week, but wat days r u actually expected to bring it out with u on delivery, i have heard its just a monday,

I have extra on my round from the pegusus fk up if i am ever asked to take it i book overtime light day or not.Its not part of my duty as far as i'm concerned.

Its not fair if your asked to do it on light days when other people are getting flyers.

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.

Depends on local arrangements - one of our duties is like this and even on quiet days its split as usual.
