Yes i would agree entirely with the above comments.
To avoid any argument just compose a small letter saying you will not be available for any overtime over the Christmas period,you bastards.
Maybe advisable to leave that last bit out,but have always considered it a much better ending to any letter than any of the standard endings that you don`t really mean!

If I wrote 'I will not be available for any overtime over the Christmas period, you bastards', then the only word I could close the letter with would be 'Sincerely'

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.
