Is it my imagination or are 90% of our bosses grossly obese? Certainly nearly all the ones I've met are. I know sitting on their fat backsides all day doing sweet f.a. is the main contributing factor, but surely the top bosses should be promoting a healthier living to their subordinates?
I strained my calf yesterday driving a hire van with an ultra stiff clutch. RM's rolling stock is a disgrace
I posted my polar heart rate monitor to Polar on Saturday 29th March guaranteed next day delivery. Obviously not on Sunday, but they told it would be Tuesday. I used to post things on a Sunday and they would be delivered on a Monday with out the extra cost of gauranteeing a certain delivery time.
Anyway, Polar never got the monitor! Royalmails website said it was delvered but had no record of signature. The lady in the Post Office asked me the value of the item and recomended I used special delivery. Now I am told that IF they accept responsiblity thay will only pay out up to 43 pound.
Straight jacket - did you send it recorded delivery or special delivery as only specials have full tracking which is why it costs more. Keep on it and threaten them with postcom otherwise they won't chase it.
Postieboy- all our gaffers are on the large side too or are short and bald which is why comerade postie is not a gaffer anymore.
Why do posties cross over to the dark side?
Short, fat and bald. My gaffer fits that description perfectly!
To answer your question postie postie, I thought it was the fact the dark side pays very well unless my information is incorrect? Whether it's worth the hassle they get from us is another question. I wouldn't, that's for sure.
I don't tink its the pay as they don't get docket unless they work a day off anyway most of them are to scared of the senior gaffers to refuse working for sweet FA. Maybe it's because they have an inferririty complex and by picking on the posties the boost their over inflated egos.
11.3 miles today first long run for ages.
PostiePostie-I sent it special.
The Idea behind track&trace was so they could follow the item all the way from A to B.Just to say an item was delivered without any proof is pointless.
Years ago I a registered item was signed for on a pink slip. I used to stick these in a book so if there was any problem a signature could be checked.
I resent the way we are offered a second class service for a greater fee because the E.U. has nothing better to do than interfere.
straightjacket Try calling in the local delivery office armed with your number from the special sticker (2 letters, 9 numbers, 2letters?) and see if they can help. If the person behind the enquiry counter can't ask for the person from the priority service locker and blag that your an ex postie! Failing this tour left with customer don't care.
let us know how you get on. It's not just the EU but the global fatcats of TNT, DHL etc who backhand, sorry "lobby" the political parties.
Comrade Postie-I know how it is. I joined in 1978. about 10 years later we were kept being given initiatives to fight the competition. What could we do? Those who needed to do it were doing nothing. I left in 2004 when they shut the TPOs down. And my friends who are still in say it's getting worse.
(anyway, the kind people at Polar have issued me with a replacement monitor. I gave them the number on my receipt and they checked it, saw it was delivered and accepted responsibilty for the loss. I still think it was RM. My monitor had my name on the screen.You couldn't mistake it. But as RM have no proof of it being posted I have kept the monitor unopened and am trying to get RM to accept responsibilty.)
(Don't tell them about the replacement
)
Lips are sealed
Any way, It's a big lie in for me tommorow as it's my day off
Nice run in tne evening methinks
Oh and congrats to City Postie Dermot, who done the Blenhiem bolt yesterday
comrade postie it's too late, your thirty peices of silver will be in your pay packet at the end of the month kindly stitched by the CWU.
still at least the bank manager will be happy.
Ran to work 5.2 in 36min and a bit
Ah, Take the money and make it fail
Thats a good idea
Two bonuses in the space of a month! Didn't agree to the first one to introduce local flexibility, and would like to know what RM are playing at with improved profit figures despite the doom and gloom message
Anyway, it should pay for a nice week away next month for myself and the family and have a few quid left over for my next pair of running shoes.
Ah yes Postie boy, Me off next month too, and will treat to new running shoes
However Postie postie is banned from new items as he is always spending
Only this week he bought a new running vest from Primark !!!
OH doesn't know about the payoff yet so will try and enter a few more races before she realises.
Only £4 from Primark!
Havn't a clue comrade postie more detail needed.
Ran in again in 37.08
Ah, mabye someone could explain
I'm off out in a min, left knee strapped because of sore tendon, right knee strapped 'cause of fluid on it
do about three I think
Anyway, YIPPEE to todays pay packet, another Big 4 next week aswell
and one of the dwarf's got threatened today, Comrade..... it's been a good day
Fat chance of us meeting our impossible targets. That £400 will go by the wayside.
My office is under-staffed to go along with the overly-big duties. Loads of docket for those who want it. Might not get that bonus but there's lots of opportunities to earn extra should you want to (I'm one of them thanks to my large mortgage).
Perfect weather for running this morning. Will do 9.5 miles in final preperation for next week's Dymock half-marathon. I'm mad. Should be having a lie-in on Sunday!
Did Oxford Town and Gown 10K managing to scrape in under my target time with 39'40"ish but my official result will nbe a bit slower as I didn't get zapped straight away.
Good luck with your HM postieboy sounds like non of us will get any more extra loot for quite sometime.
congrats to postie postie and city boy dermot on this morning's town and gown,
perfect example displayed by PP to why i pods should be banned
well done bald eagle
top marks to Royal Mail Runners!!!!
Any other posties or Royal Mail employee's have a good race this weekend?
Perfect weather here in Oxford, Dry part sunny with a nice breeze
Not been out since Sundays race as I have an essay to write in my week off but I was cheered to see my miserable Knackered looking colleague delivering my mail each day. If he packed in the fags and exercised a bit more he might cheer up a bit and become almost human.
How are you all getting on?
Hey,I was on deliveries on and off for eight years. I didn't smoke but I was knackered and miserable.
My postie supports spurs, but nobody's perfect!
I feel physically knackered after a cycle delivery and mentally shot to pieces after doing a rural or parcels delivery in a van. Very strange.
