Does any other office go the whole day (3 waves) without a manager turning up?

If you run some quotes limited mileage buisness insurance doesnt cost extra.
Did when I first tried and I'm not going to cancel and rearrange my insurance mid-year. Nor pay the admin fee to change it even if it were "free".

Yes your office will take it in turns to deliver your sunday stuff from the hub, how you get there is your issue not the companies.
What a load of rubbish. Ive asked two managers this question including a very good friend of mine that is a manager in another town and all of said this would not happen. There are none drivers who would never be able to do this and drivers that would come off driving permanently (which there are ways around that).
You can not be forced to travel miles to another office

He does talk rubbish most of the time but in this case according to Royal Mail he's right.

Being required to be able to work in any office has been in RM contracts since at least the early 2000s
