If a human cell has even one more or one less than 46, it completely alters human development, making 46 the absolute magic number for human life.

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.

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
Several DM26 offices on that list. And I thought DM26 fixed late deliveries, reduced sickness, improved staff mental health and ended the war on drugs. Obviously not that good.

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
Do you suppose that maybe some of these offices have decided to suddenly report correctly in order to delay DM26 in their office?
It’s a theory.

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
I cannot believe my office is never on that list! Most have not chucked a letter in this week.We have weeks' worth of sequenced mail sitting here, and weeks and weeks of D2Ds piling up on the floor. The double-slotted frame is absolutely bulging. Honestly, with all the weight on it, I did wonder if it could topple over... which would be pretty funny.

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
Last December I was getting concerned at the creaking noise my frame was making when I tried to add another tray load to the previous 14 days already forced into it. The RM2000 Preparation Guide v1.4 (2012) doesn't list a maximum weight load so it's time for some back-of-the-envelope
Standard letters are ~10g per item. The average house is getting 4 letters a week now (0.66/day pre-DM26), double that callrate for 'peak'. Average DPs per duty was ~575 locally pre-DM26.
≈7.5KG daily, multiplied by almost three working weeks ≈100KG
No idea about packets above the frame. Shoebox dimension is supposed to top out at 2KG. The prep guide says an average of 7 can fit per column. The office average was 5.5 columns before the changes.
≈80KG.
It's getting late and I can't be bothered calculating the force of that under freefall. I just want to say that I remember weighing my bags in 2007 on a heavy day. 40KG. Packets were negligible. It all got done on that day in three hours flat and everyone was done for lunch.
The machine stops.

Re: Offices 'officially' in trouble?
7 shoebox size parcels above each column? Surely that would have HSE involved, I doubt there's many that haven't had a load of parcels fall on their head, another thing that isn't fit for purpose at RM.
