So you had the cheek to accept £20 for not doing your job properly? YES

Did you follow the correct procedures about receiving gifts? YES. I spent it before the wife could get hold of it.

our postie is fantastic, so pleasant and helpful. He signs for us and leaves things in a safe place. Then all of a sudden he stopped coming on our round about 2 months ago and we have had 3 different posties since then. I am saving our usual christmas tip for our regular postie no matter how many `have a nice day I get from the newbies`. I hope he comes back

ps my view on selling part of the rm is that it had to happen, it was only a question of time

their union comes across the same as the dockers union of the past. Beligerent

What does it mean when there is a question mark after your address, even when it is correct?

No, they also post red cards through your letterbox because they cannot be bothered carrying a parcel to your door, even though postage has been paid for the item to be delivered to your door, not a sorting office which you have to travel to, to collect your item yourself.

Oh yes and they also strike in the Summer and at Christmas, bit of a coincidence I think?

& yes the strike is about money, as it always is. They either want pay increases, better pensions, they are currently saying it is because so many hundred workers will lose their jobs if they move a sorting centre, doesn't it occur to anybody that if they can simply move a sorting centre and save hundreds of jobs, that these hundreds of workers are getting paid for doing unneccesary work in the first place??

So many excuses, so many complaints. At the end of the day the more the workers complain and strike the quicker it will be sold off and privatised, then there will be no pensions to moan about, no 20% pay increases to strike over..... the sooner the better.

the strikes about job losses
kind of makes your post redundant

the pensions issue was/is about people keeping the pension they have paid into
it isnt always about money,thats RM's managment you are thinking about
i dont understand your summer correlation
20% pay increase?

such a great advert for Royal Mail - no wonder their reputation is going down the plug hole...........fast !

what?!?!

seriously, enough postie bashing!! i think the posts on here are quite good - it makes me very glad i don't work in any job dealing with the general public... just by definition half of them have a below average IQ!

everyone has had one or two or even a handful of bad experiences with the post - but it does get delivered 6 days a week all year (ok, i can't be bothered to work out how many days less it is with bank holidays but you get the gist!).... a handful of bad experiences about a service that gets used that often is pretty good. especially compared to my experiences with things like gas/electricity companies or the train service, or actually, DHL!

moneypooh

BBC reporting that they have been called off

How much do you tip your postie and do they prefer cash to gift?
