The same old story......

Post by andy2007 »

It's the same old story, again. RM decide that something isn't neccessary, they remove it, then they realise that it was needed after all. It's just the usual ill concieved ideas from them!
Don't knock Insanity
it's just another outlook on Reality!

Not that i am taking sides but before sunday collections, we always collected the mail from the boxes on the run up to xmas, the only thing was in those days it was double time.

Not in London. All London Sunday collections were processed at Mount Pleasant, and sent out on a 1730 despatch.
That does not happen now, and the despatch has been cancelled. No collections came in today.

Will always happen mate :neutral: This job as long as ive done it(21 years)has always been run on overtime for alot of people,and to be honest its what most of us come to work for ,to earn a few quid so we can live our lives.so if its there for colleagues to do, why not.
