Yeah thanx guys... i'm a posty, and you would not believe the shit we have to put up with, the problem is with management, not us on the front line...

they have completely changed the working practice now, there are no longer second deliveries, everything has to be sorted before the posty goes out, where as they used to sort most of the mail for the first delivery and the stuff left went second... People seem to think we get to work and the mail is sat there waiting for us to take out... Like Bollox, I have to sort on average 1000 items of mail a day before I even go out, and i work in a small out of town office, on a busy day double that

The thing is you get pen pushers sat infront of a computer screen with fuk all better to do than work out shite percentages of the mail we deliver, Fer fuk sake we are only human every one makes mistakes

Oh and Chris (foz) Post office counters has nothing to do with the delivery side of things... so even if the post office WAS privatised your que would still be as long

Also what people dont realise is the Royal mail have to compete now in an open market, but they are capped by the governmant, so other companies can undercut royal mail and Chrage X amout for an item to be delivered and then They can get the post office to pick it up and deliver it at no extra cost as we are at liberty to do so because of the way it is controlled... if the postal service IS privatised the all that will happen is these companies will pick the plum contracts from inner city firms, and leave all the shit to Royal mail, as royal mail wont make money they wont be able to afford to pay staff, staff will go... your mail will be even worse and only the top 20% busines's will get a better service!!!

All you see is NOT Black and White!!
