@ TMS.

I know you like to speak about me and what i do. So, you should know that i've invested elsewhere, which i mentioned to you here. I couldn't handle the boredom, waiting. You'll be pleased to know that i'm up on all three of my investments since.

But let's talk about RM instead. QoS was one of the big things mentioned, to get RM back on track and getting customers to trust the company again. If this is s*it, post revision, do you not think it will affect your profitability here? Or doesn't that matter, either. When i talk about QoS, i mean parcels as well as letters, for clarity.

The agency staff we use, no longer like too much work. If these are to be used as DPR staff (as would seem the case), will this attitude be acceptable to the hierarchy, as well as the shareholders? The agency staff are the delivering Gods for RM, aren't they?

Lets not forget overtime, and the payments through SISO, or outdoor actuals. No impact on QoS there? Duties uncovered, including the parcels on those duties..

So many questions, and absolutely no answers.

@ TMS.

I do what the managers tell me. I've never said any different. I come to work, do my time and go home.

Can you tell me how these future revisions wil improve QoS? A major bugbear of the company and the CWU, alike.

Regarding my doubt over the share price climb? We are all entitled to an opinion. If i'm wrong, at least i've made a load already. That's to be lauded, right?

I am absolutely shocked that only 67% actually registered their vote. While i understand the thought process of the reasons why, it doesn't make sense to not vote, either way. I said many times i was 100% certain that it would be a yes.

So moving on, and "seasonal variation" will sooon be upon us. Our start times move forward by 24 minutes, getting us outside 24 minutes earlier in theory, thereby giving us 24 minutes more of outdoor work. Asssuming of course that the extra workload is there. If it's not, for some or all, what happens? Do managers now allocate extra work where it's needed, daily? Do they take away any overtime to facilitate this? Let's not forget that this has been in place for some years now, and never utilised. Still, we have SISO now.

And then we have the DPR's. Meant to be live in October. So all revisions will need to be done by then. I have spoken to a planner friend, who has been told there would be no further work for him in this sphere, past October. I have no idea how many duties we will be losing, or how many DPR's should be in my office.

I cannot wait to see how this all turns out. RM must have some very solid data to implement such a big shift in working structure so close to crimbo. I wonder what they haven't factored in? I have a feeling that QoS will not be very good. Let's see the COMs manage this.

I also understand that the "not very good" casuals will no longer be with us. I thought that the 10,000 FTE's were meant to include natural wasteage, then casuals and overtime. So why are we keeping the "good" ones on?

And on a final note: A mail centre friend tells me that RM want a 25% reduction in day staff in his MC. I wonder if the staff that are about to lose their jobs or be relocated actually voted?

A manager update to follow soon. And it would appear that some are not going to be very happy bunnies.

Well done with the rise by the way. Let's see if it can be sustained. I doubt it though.

@ Pdub

It was over 10 million.

@ Newdealz.

Do not mistake honesty for nastiness. Your postie lady would agree, i'm sure.

Once again, the USO is in the governments hands. It doesn't matter how much you whinge and whine. It's not my fault or the CWU's. Yet you keep bleating on about it. And the dinosaurs that apparently want to keep it . You know, the lazy workshy militants. You are aware that a 5 day USO will bear the same fruit, regarding failures? Why do you think things will be any different?

@ Newdealz.

No you didn't. You got put in your place, due to your sheer stupidity. And your posties.

I have no idea about the complaints, %age wise. Maybe you could explain, as you appear to know so much. One of your long departed friends, Angryshark, berated us posties for failing to deliver hospital appointment letters during IA. Until it suited him/her to argue that daily deliveries didn't matter.

The USO is nothing to do with the CWU, Posties or RM. I can't change it, you can't change. The amount of complaints, be it millions or nil, can't change it.

But, if you asked every postie if they would take a Monday - Friday delivery, the majority would bite your hand off.

How's your average by the way? Still posting thinking of your wallet? Don't worry. Your 5 quid+ per share investments will soon be in profit.

@ Oli G.

All Sunday parcel deliveries, for all delivery offices in my area, are from my MC. There are none that operate from the actual delivery office. I'm not sure if this is a national thing though.

@ Newdealz.

Any mail that arrives in the delivery office is for delivery that day. Any mail that does not go out, is a failure.

It would also include the LATs which are processed at the MC and delivered from there.

Your postie is wrong.

A penny a share!!!!

I still cannot believe that after all the positives, grades, ML, ESIA, and the government allegedly on side, we are where we are.

Despite MB's rather large holding, it would be nice to see some director deals. Any director deals. Or are they privy to inside information, for the past 2 years?

1 announcement per year, regarding Mahenge, is really not good enough.

@ LegalWolf.

In short, it's called eating sh*t.

What was meant to be the deal of the century, certainly with Agnico, has turned into a disaster for shareholders.

The only crumb of comfort i take, is that the share price probably is far to low, because of the situation. IMO. An opportunity to average down, if you can afford it.

i just hope i'll still be alive when APTA comes to fruition.

@ eatstocks

"""Some can afford a good wine"""

Or in HMHG's case, and a few others, a good whine. Lol.

@ Wolfy123.

Despite the huge frustrations clearly evident by all, if this drops further and continues to, i will buy as much as i can.

I believe in Anza. Not necessarily BG. And i believe it will come good in the end. How long it takes, is anyones guess.

I never thought having 2 majors on board would be so problematic. Buit that's where we are.

More concerning for me is potential dilution, at this ridiculous price. It may be 12 - 24 months away, but we all thought we'd be well into phase 2 now.

@ cindercone.

It's your opinion then.

Are you saying the loan wasn't needed?

@ Cindercone.

Maybe all avenues were explored, and this, however reckless, was the best option.

It's all well and good saying that there are more options, but that's only speculation. So instead of slating FM, come up with an alternative that you know woud have been acceptable. And put this to bed for good.

@ coffeecups.

If the rent is reduced, even more savings. I thought you'd be happy with that?

Back to your profits. How much have you made on the back of FM's leadership?

@ Cindercone.

What would have happened without the Orion deal? In your opinon, of course.

@ Amtech.

What you are suggesting is illegal. I'm sure you know that.

More interestingly though, is that if you are correct, and the BOD did behave illegally, then why is MB still holding close to 10%. Or do you think he took a back-hander from the HNWI's? Maybe to soften his financial blow?

You have all the answers.

I've just emailed the company with your queries. I'm sure they'll respond accordingly.

@ HalfManHalfGoat.

"""For 6 years plus you’ve constantly banged on about the redox flow battery vision with next to zero progress"""

This interests me too. Didn't it take over 10 years for the lithium ion battery to start getting full scale adoption? Late seventies - early nineties? I stand to be corrected on this.

Still time yet for VRFB, wouldn't you say?

@ JBT.

I haven't read the article, but i sincerely hope that the same problems encountered at Warrington, do not manifest here.

ScampTheDog was very vociferous in the daily failings there. While i accept that there will be teething problems, i'm sure he was quite scathing about the whole operational process there.

Time will tell.

@ HalfManHalfGoat.

""""Across the 10 years at the helm you have delivered zero shareholder value.""""

What an odd post. Even coffeecups has made money. Earlier this week you could have bought at 2.35p on FM's demise.

Yep. Absolutely no shareholder value in 10 years!!!!!
