Hi All,


This is my first post. I've finally been offered a place as a postie with occasional driving duties in the south-east. I have to go to an induction day in 2 weeks time. Anyone kno what happens on the induction day and how soon after I will actually start?

Welcome Lew1275 - we have a fair number of new posties logging on recently and I hope you all enjoy the job. We do have a thread that was started b a "Newbie" at http://www.royalmailchat.co.uk/communit ... &sk=t&sd=a but if that does not cover all your questions post them in here and we will endeavour to assist.

First they strip you bare and dip your gonads in meths. Then they set fire to them. Hurts a bit but its the only way in. Then you learn how to join the union. Next is how to pike up a bag properly. Then after you have put teh bag down its more how to join the union. Then you are shown what a 739 is and how to put loads in da door if you want an early day and can't be assed to wait for people in Bungalows take the longest to oepn the bleeding door. After that its more how to join the union. then H & S.
After 4 course lunch paid for by the bald bloke at the top who leaving soon, (shame) its more how to join the union I am afraid. Then you have tea time with hob knobs. Shortly after that the union rep comes in to say "why dont you join us"
After supper of cocoa and an arrowroot biscuit washed down with a glass of sherry you get your CWU union mailshot to see if you wnat to join.

Lights out at midnight and next day you go in for the op to have brain stem removed to become (they hope) a der brain so they can feed you cobblers all week.

As you can see (I hope) you need this site and and sense of hunour to work/graft/slave for Royal Snail Fail. Good luck and ask without fear or retribution
