I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.

Well you shouldnt miss out on D2D's as we are supposed to take 20% per day Mon-Fri so you should be able to claim the 20% you do that day, times that by 5 walks and there's your 100%.
Well in theory that's true but not in practice because on Saturday there would be no D2D consequently the rotation shift would only have 80% each.
