No. Just another rat. Means less than s##t to me.
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.

Re: Dave Smith legs it
Unbelievable!!!
What kind of company appoints a Managing Director (or whatever title he held) who is going to be around for little more than six months???
Surely he signed some form of contract that ties him to the job for at least a couple of years.
Having said that, I agree with Billy; what does it matter?
Confused? You will be.....

Re: Dave Smith legs it
It was interesting to see in Tuesday's WTL that during the five minute 'Post Office Good News Weekly' video that Dave Smith's desertion was portrayed in a positive light.
It was simply referred to along the lines of 'Dave Smith has joined Royal Mail Group' with no reference whatsoever to the fact that he has 'jumped ship' from POL after only six months as Managing Director.
Forgive me for stating the obvious (once again!) but any company that has THREE different Managing Directors in just over SIX months is clearly a company in big, BIG trouble!!!
From what I've seen of Paula Vennells during her time with POL I am not exactly filled with confidence for the next six months either! Unless she sacks Richard Barker in which case we may just have a chance of lasting into the next financial year.
