We know the details of the best and final offer and he knows our feelings about it. This is purely a PR exercise so he can actually attend this time and the bad man and woman from the telly won’t make him look silly again. He can then make us look like bolshy ingrates (like the train companies were doing this morning) when we tell him to stick it.

Not worth bothering with. Put it in the shredder. He’s buggered it all up for the customer, the employees and RM. Bet his wife and kids still love him though.

So Simon wants to go to ACAS. Will his whiteboard go through their front door I wonder?

As I said before let’s call his bluff and tell him we’ll meet but with no pre ordained agenda from either side,as we are looking to save Christmas, he’ll run off with his letter quicker than Neville Chamberlain.

I think Simon and Dave should have a game of ping pong because these so called talks are going back and forth without any resolution.

It's like a playground out there with kids fighting in a play ground, on how peter hurt paul, but did he really or is it just allegations.

If Simon is offering the last and final offer, what's the point of Dave going to these meetings. See you on friday on the picket line Simon.

Simon Thompson’s best and final offer has already been rejected by the union so what is the point of knowing the details about it . The union will rightly never accept compulsory redundancies.

1. The PR pressure is mounting on RM with the Christmas backlog
2. Currys dropping us is a massive hammer blow to Simon
3. Ofcom saying we're no longer going to get away with ignoring the USO
4. This Ride App company were meant to be taking over our parcels today. 30 of them. This morning that was down to 12. This afternoon down to 6. Good luck with that!


I feel the tide is beginning to turn in our favour. Hang in there lads/lasses!

I hope Dave told him to sling his hook.

No meetings unless there is a drastic change of attitude from the pr! Ck

Rather than Simon meeting Dave why doesn’t Simon come and address his “Team” in Parliament Square 1pm Friday.

I appreciate it's hardly the most important aspect of his letter, but I do find his poor literacy skills quite annoying.

I think that’s the saddest thing about the whole of this , out of the thousands of staff who work for RM we have a CEO and a board which considers the team to be only people on management grades .
If you were gone tomorrow no one would miss you Simon, certainly not the public , that’s how important you are .
