What exactly do you have to do to make the list?
To be sincerely speaking in my humble opinion without being sentimental and of course without offending anyone who thinks differently from my opinion but rather looking into this serious matter with perspective distinction and without condemning anyone's point of view, I honestly think and believe that I have nothing to say. Thank you

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.

Sad times the management from top to bottom needs changing, Posties are being run into the ground ive never known so many of with stress, meanwhile the late collection drivers do next to nothing pass by the same houses that have packets undelivered the untouchables.

Managers are NOT reporting the cut off's. They do not want to pay excess for whatever reason.

Without naming it I would definitely say our office is in trouble, and it’s not on the list.

I'd say ours is too but just how badly do you have to be in trouble to make the list?

Your local MP has to kick up a fuss to the papers before you make the list.

From the number of Tracked that weren't scanned in today I doubt many in our area will get any letters tomorrow, but I think we are a long way from making it onto the naughty step list.

Apparently the day before last the amount of Covid kits was insane. The 600s doing runs to the largest DOs covered by the MC, one of them runs might well have been purely Covid kits! Would have to find the news story but iirc it mentioned in the New Year the amount of Covid kits being sent out increase to something like 3 million daily

Totally agree. We had 600 odd test kits, plus a york full of other LAT's on Tuesday. Surprisingly one FT and three of us from the agency got them all done.

I suspect this latest news of a national shortage will create the panic ordering akin to the fuel crisis of a few months ago... I bet Monday 3rd will be fun!

Chances are there was over a double stacker arctics worth of test kits through the MC that day and I believe it's about 90 yorks the largest of the double stacker trailers can hold
