What an idiot!, he will most certainly get done for it, we had someone locally trying to auction a royal mail bike, they got caught, i think the IB watch the well known auction sites for such things.

Now if they were the old short sleeve shirts and not the new 'maternity' ones I might've been interested. Lol

joking aside, it would be a good idea to swap uniform with fellow posties to get around the allocation rules.

Just looks like a guy who's left and trying to get a couple of quid for his uniform before he throws it away. But I don't get why would anyone want RM uniform? Staff can just order it for free, are there people out there who actually want to walk around pretending they're a postie?

No doubt eBay will be taking down those RM items....

Royal Mail head of safety does look on eBay so be warned staff members will face disciplinary action if they are found to be selling stuff.

eBay mentions no transportation uniforms to be sold but if you type in Network Rail uniform comes up. They need to apply the rules properly.....

It actually specifically states Royal Mail and An Post Uniforms are prohibited items. At least it did last time I reported a sale of one.

He is Welsh.
They have different laws over there.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
