Not much use for those of us who have the job so we can be at our kids schools by 3, isn't that one of the things we are striking for?! :crazy:
If we don't make a stand, you will never be able to pick up the kids from school. Royal mail are looking at near 5pm finish, so maybe you can make other agreements for the school pickup next Friday? Because come next year it will be an issue everyday.

That's if you manage to finish by 5pm. The commitment to deliver means you could be out until even later .

Can't really expect us jocks to come all the way to london for a rally then straight back home afterwards for work next day.
About a 23 hour round trip for us if driving and that's not including breaks :Boo hoo! Only my opinion but it might have been better to have had Scotland, Wales and NI rallies as well.

My manager told us this week that it would be a maximum 30-40 minutes we’d be expected to work over our time, and that they could never make us “commit to deliver” everything.

He’s an honest and straight talking guy and i tend to believe what he says. Not sure if its the same in all offices though.

Silly end of! childish and delusional not to mention offensive to those of us nowhere near (oh that’s right we don’t really count)
It offends you because it is in the capital and you don't live close? I doubt having it in Darby will have the same impact. And the results are for anyone, so you do really count.

I don't live close so I won't go.

The main reason why it's in London is because that's where Royal Mail HQ is .

It's not a Royal Mail van so it should be okay to do a 1200 mile round trip without breaking down.

Hundreds of Thousands marched through London protesting the COVID measures.
Complete Media blackout.

Hardly a complete blackout. We watched that crank Piers Corbyn get arrested for 5G Coronavirus conspiracy theory nonsense on more than one occasion.
Or was that the Free Cornwall March? Hard to keep a track of all that lunacy.


Well they only showed the negative bits.
Plus a few 5th Column trouble makers.
Take your membership card folks.
