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.

You get a first aid certificate - but NO extra pay. :sad:
and you get taught first aid - so it's your responsibility to deal with any injury, accident or illness. :sad:
and you still have ALL your mail to sort and deliver. :sad:
but DGP might be able to lend you a nice little uniform. :nana :nana

All depends if you need first aid in your spare time for sport/pastime this will cover you with insurance and you are qualified for 3 years and you have the priceless knowledge of just maybe being able to help someone in the future. personally I think that it should be taught in school you never know when any of us may need help. :Applause and Royal Mail pay for it, that is the only concession that you get plus maybe thank you every 10 years. :d'oh!
