Royal Mail did change its name a few years ago to Consignia. Lasted about 6 months before they changed it back. This new name is equally ridiculous. I’m glad I’m retired.
Ah, a civilised chat board…..
@teslo, it USED to be money for old rope at RM. I remember once getting 6 hours overtime for doing three 2nd deliveries that took me 2 hours. We used to get 4 hours overtime for delivering half a walk, then our manager suddenly decided he was only going to pay 2 and a half hours. That was when I stopped doing overtime. It’s definitely not as easy as it used to be and I’ve been retired for 4 years.
Eh?
Well said Aspenwood.
Haha! I do wonder what she sees in me. I pinch myself every morning to make sure I’m not dreaming and I’m not still delivering crap in north Manchester. Her income makes my mind boggle; her bonus this year was £16k ( I do tell her we used to get £200 at Xmas).
Hi Red. My legal eagle is still here. She’s bought (me) a bungalow here now. I’m still a kept man. Not interested in getting another Porsche, I’m more into riding my bike. Only got my original 3030 RM shares (the maximum we were guaranteed to buy at the outset) left.
Dowsie, your grammar is shocking! You can’t complain about someone else’s spelling when you can’t write a proper sentence.
I used to be a postman (as my moniker implies and did have a few Porsches; but that’s another story) and management started saying letters were reducing from around 2010 I think. We were all puzzled my these statements as there were still tons of letters coming through. Packets started increasing around 2015 with almost all items with barcodes (meaning little farty ones from China) needing scanning at the point of delivery. I was lucky enough to retire just before Xmas 2018 as I really didn’t fancy another festive period delivering (well, attempting as the recipients were almost never in, which became very frustrating) post. As regards to the current dispute in the past management always gave in and settled but in this case I’m not sure.
That’s 2 in my green bin so far this morning. The same person maybe?
Yes, Barrett, it makes you wonder if there’s a group who decide they’ll have a run on a particular share ( EUA this time). I do wish they’d tell us when it’s going to happen so we can play too.
Ricardo2019, but aren’t we owned by lots of Russians?
Woohoo, I’m only £60k down now. Can we have another 18p so I’m in profit please?
Still adding Carlito? You must have enough by now surely?
Hey Mr.Wolfe, I’ve not seen your mate mac for a while. Where’s he gone?
If the union are concerned about a takeover they should be encouraging the workers to get buying shares. And if they somehow managed to acquire over half the shares available then no one could take over.
Where is everyone?
CTC, mac is similar. He’s never said how many he holds. I have nothing to hide and don’t care who knows anything about me. I still have 343,167
CTC, he won’t answer, I asked a similar question a while back.
Morning Les, perhaps Keith is a fellow Gooner: that’s why he always replies to you! I’m like CTC, sometimes I get a reply, sometimes I don’t. Ps. I’m hoping for another 8-2 on Sunday…
