Coronation Day Saturday 6th May

Post by StokieD »

Anyone know if and when this will be declared a non-service day?
I know we have an extra Bank Holiday on the Monday 8th May, but surely it won’t be expected or acceptable for the ROYAL Mail to be delivering letters, packets, parcels and FarmFoods leaflets while the King is actually being crowned??

Not seen any mention anywhere of RM applying to OFCOM for it to be a non-service day or of OFCOM granting it as a non-service day so I'm assuming it'll be a normal working day in all offices (of all types)

I do, I'm a Royalist and it should be a non service day.

Otherwise what's the point of ROYAL in our name.

I care too. Of course we should be off. They’ll wait until the last minute so we can’t plan anything 🙄

There is no point, it's purely branding since RM was sold.

Ooo, does that mean we have a long weekend coming? 😁

Wonder if parcels would still be delivered on the Sunday?

AFAIK as it stands the Saturday will be a normal working day in RM so if you have duty, docket or SA for that day you'll do it as normal

It will end up a non-service day, but if not I'll be watching the Coronation regardless.
If the procession starts at 3, I'll finish work at the normal time. If the procession starts at 10:30 I'll go to work and be home by 10:30. I'm not missing the crowning of our monarch, the first for over 70 years, because some ass-hole jobsworth says we have to . End of Rant :left:

I would think that OFCOM won't even consider a request to make the Saturday a NSD, given how they are failing the USO on a daily basis.
