Peterborough Christmas Casual Starting tomorrow

Post by kkodali »

Hi,

I am supposed to be starting as a Christmas casual tomorrow in Peterborough. At first they called me and gave me an address in Orton to turn up for work. They have sent an email on friday that they have changed the work place to the Royalmail, Shrewsbury Avenue. I went around today to have a look to be sure of the address and could not find the Royalmail building. Does anybody here know where the Royal mail is in Shrewsbury Avenue, Peterborough. Can you please give me some directions. Thanks..

From a google search there is a RM delievery office at:
Royal Mail
Peterborough South Delivery Office 20-22
Welbeck Way
Peterborough
Cambridgeshire PE2 7ZZ
It's not that far away from Shewsbury Ave on Google Maps so it may be the office they meant

Thank you very much. I went there today again to have a look and saw some Royalmail Vans etc. So that should be the place.

Yes,some of the places you guys will go to are not official Royal Mail buildings...
The Royal Mail is setting up nine parcel hubs to cope with the expected Christmas increase in packages.

The temporary centres at Glasgow, Edinburgh, Swansea, Swindon, Watford, Bristol, Peterborough, Manchester and Nuneaton will run until 24 December.

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.

Same for Nuneaton. The letter said Coventry South Mail Sorting Centre. No such thing in google. Royal Mail Website not helpful either. Asked Angard. Got a Post Code in Nuneaton, which is NORTH of Coventry. Went there the day before. Couldn't find anything, no neighboring company knew anything. Met other casuals looking for the place.
Then found a rundown warehouse which was for sale/let. The people there waved us away. Only persistence got them to the gate. Yes, this is the place.

Asked Angard how to get there, because there is no bus going there. Neeed to walk from the bus stop for 30 minutes. Very funny at night.
Answer from Angard: That's your problem. We are not responsible to tell you how to get there.
Very helpful, very kind.

Then, found out the first day, there is a shuttle bus. Asked the driver when and where the bus starts when going to the site.
Same answer: don't know.

What kind of company is this Angard?

i think the reason that lot of the angard staff are going to the wrong building is because that the peterborough evening telegraph put the picture for that white building in the paper and on the web site as this is the site(this is not correct) that they have taken on as there new shrewsbury avenue sorting office wich is the old card factory site . bloody Muppet at the et are causing all this trouble .
so angard staff go towards the peddergry pet foods, its just out side their gates the enterence to the left as you face peddigry pet foods/mars .
