Yes - have heard that the plans for DM26 in the offices are massive square pegs being battered into very small round holes in some of the offices.

If I hear anything more I'll give a bit of detail where I can. Depends on what gossip our collections driver brings back with him from the offices in question.

They do in the sense that the units exist. In a 'the church is the congregation' sense, no; as the knock-on effects of later starts from their parent DOs have reportedly driven lots of people to quit.

I used to work at one; we started 2 hours after the main DO. It was a 4pm finish then, dread to think what it would be now with DOOM26

The post office owner got a good £ for having 6 of us there, and got to keep the purpose-built building with a bathroom, kitchen and room that had 6 fittings and a sorting frame that was built for us on their land :shock:
