If only Paul Heal was actually called Pauly. He'd have a great name for postman then. Pauly Heal. :dance

that poster is as genuine as a £6 note
There’s an office near mine that uses that poster. For some unknown reason they removed our suggestion box.
Our office also uses that poster. Strangely enough, the customer comments are pretty the same wording as the ones on this poster....I’m guessing COMdoms have been given a few examples of what to put and have taken it literally.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

Second best. Paul Heal (Pauly to his mates) is the best.

OPG

How will this wall work within the universal service reform, where posties rotate between different delivery routes?

Head of Delivery Design at Royal Mail Group

Great question. Of course we don't know the shape of the USO reform until Ofcom determines that.

In the example of our submission shown in the slide the "all product" person alternates between routes, all the "all product" routes for a given day would have to be adjacent in a run on the prep frame and then a separate block of routes which are "1c/parcel" today.

This would then allow someone to extend or contract into a block of neighbouring DPs with the same traffic profile and keep the prep simple.

In the 1c/parcel block people could also extend and contract within the same type of delivery work.
With the proposed change there should be 2 features on an "all product" route.
1) As you say fewer DPs served on an all product route as the % called at is higher
and 2) Less day to day variation as the letter call rate should mean the workload is more consistent and you have 1 day's parcels and 2 days' letters.

This should mean less need to absorb or drop delivery points from day to day, but not no need to do it. This is how the RM proposed USO change and the Delivery 2.0 could work together, but we need to see what form of reform we get before we confirm our exact designs.


:crazy:

The way it’s going you will need a degree in mathematics to be able to do this job.

Imagine trying to explain that to a new starter!!

So what happens if all the 2c post is not cleared everyday if there's "then a separate block of routes which are "1c/parcel" today." I assume when prepping that block of routes you'll be sorting that day's incoming 1c/parcel work into slots where there's already 2c/parcel work and D2D's from the previous day(s)?

What's the benefit of rotation?

again, it sounds like another bad idea.

Regular posties know the codes for flats, know where people like their parcels or don't like their parcels, know where the dodgy dogs are, etc etc etc...
There is so much a regular postie knows versus people being shifted about.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

If you get a load of new builds in the middle of that nonsense do you then have move thousands addresses along to accommodate it? That would take some work.

That’s all lovely (horrific) and neat and tidy, without any mail and whatnot but does spending hours upon hours tinkering with frames, result in your average postie being a more efficient worker drone, who can walk two miles longer and carry twice as much?

The answer is no of course.

The great wall of Sheerness. I wonder if they'll go to the wall when it gets busy.

This delivery 2.0 …Not being on a regular walk as such, will also mean losing Xmas tips on top of seniority.
Taking everything away from us,union just letting them do as they please.

Sad times 🥲

Will walks even exist with Delivery 2.0? Is it possible that you'll just be told that you're taking out everything between two places on the one large frame?
