Oli "At least we agree on something?"

Actually Oli we have often agreed, just that we disagree when your Wrong! A lighthearted aside no need for debate.

We agree this time also. I will admit to occasionally being wined and dined in the sumptious Westminster dining rooms. Some MP's do have good intentions. However the higher they rise brings attention from those with the wherewithal to corrupt.

Broch, "Doesn't bode well for a Tory bounce back prior to the next GE"

Blue or Red nothing changes, they stand in Parliament and spout their platitudes but nothing changes. Whoever moves into No10 has "head in trough" as a priority.

It's not usually a dull share to own. How can it be when it has been below 130p and above 600p

Another day of them playing with the SP. Although I think many here are immune to their games.

JB. Anyone picking up this poisoned chalice will require the self belief that comes with experience. Including the times where it didn't go exactly to plan. The flawless career points to someone that plays it safe. Although by this stage the lessons should have been well learned.

No question that however their received, a time will come when the "knives are out" Definitely needs an outsider.

I feel the appointment should be from outside of the IDS bubble. Clean slate is best, anyone else will have a history and the usual hecklers. More chance of success if the individual has a flawless complexion. We know appearance is important to the workforce. Any doubts look back to the immaculate individuals on the picket lines.

Well there's an opening for CEO perhaps those that believe they have what it takes. Should get in contact. It looks like a poisoned chalice to me though.

Ben from what's said in the post is a regular customer that uses IDS for business parcels. He has no control or association with IDS. He was simply posting satisfaction with the refund policy.

I recall however that you Oligarch were smugly saying that you intended to send a number of items fully expecting the promised delivery time to fail and therefore would cost you nothing.

You then wrote confirming your success. You can see the difference but your character will not allow you to admit it. I sincerely hope that the replacement for Simon weeds the bottom feeders out of IDS. Thankfully you will be retired soon so we're rid of you.

Ah! having checked seems your a "love Island" fan :-

Melt, Love Island lingo is working its way into the nation’s lexicon

Oligarch, Quite the contrary you merely feature when you make such posts. However your response thanking me for a compliment that had not been made was disingenuous. Your use of "melt" says more about you than me.

I also felt your response was not clear so clarified the meaning.

All here should understand my comment "Oligarch I see your action as a lack of character" was not intended as complimentary. Therefore the thanks has no merit. My understanding of the response :-

Oligarch, "It wasn't only me others did it also. It's completely in character for me to take advantage of my employer if I see an opportunity"

My take on this is that RM needs everyone to be 100% committed as it's not a problem which can be solved by the B.O.D alone.

Example a group of posties sacked recently for tea break irregularities.

With regard to :- ' I did indeed claim compensation for Special Delivery items that were failing and I make no apologies for doing so"

It was obvious at the time that you were quite sure before posting that neither of the various items would arrive in the designated time. You are correct in that you were entitled. However I see your action as a lack of character.

Oli. "RM don't want to be paying compensation for failed or delayed deliveries as it eats into their profits.

What RM need is a "right first time" policy"

Stating the blindingly obvious there Oli. However clients need to have faith that if compensation is due it will be paid without further aggravation.

I know you agree Oli as you were informing us that you claim compensation when your items don't arrive in time. I fact seemed you anticipated later compensation when posting?

"I see a great future ahead"

Music to our ears, Ben. Keep sending the parcels and THANKS!

"they’re trying to squeeze every last bit of juice out of their remaining shorts"

Sounds quite revolting

Oli, My point exactly can't believe either!

"Britain’s economy now stands 0.2% below its level in late 2019 as of the second quarter, compared with 0.2% above for Germany, 1.7% for France, 2.2% for Italy and 6.2% for the United States.

Most economists think tough times are ahead, despite the economy’s recent resilience.

“With much of the drag from higher interest rates still to come, we are sticking to our below-consensus forecast that the UK is heading for a mild recession later this year,” said economist Ruth Gregory from consultancy Capital Economics.

Here I am ever the optimist but, who to believe ??

The UK economy grew by 0.2% in the second quarter.

Slight improvement on the first quarter of 2023, when the economy grew by 0.1%. Separate figures for the month of June alone showed a 0.5% increase

"We're laying the strong foundations needed to grow the economy," says Chancellor Jeremy Hunt

"Growth is still on the floor due to the Conservatives economic mismanagement" Says Labour's Rachel Reeves"

Oli, Simon has extensive abilities with regard to reducing head count. As he won't need much in the way of remuneration. Ideal position reducing illegal immigration.

Nice little rebound in the last hour or so.
