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.

Good thing Leighton's off next year, otherwise 5 years would soon be seen as worthy of a Long Service Award

Johno I lost mine too. I think it was while standing on one of the picket lines with you mate. You don't think there is a 'Picket Badge Nicker' do you? Could be one of the many managers with less than 10 years service :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle
