A team leader in Royal Mail especially if anywhere in the Manchester area, is usually the person who cleans the bogs or has no mates and sows patches on his jumper elbows and reads The Courier from cover to cover.
Hope that helps Custardy.

ahhh the Courier
full of happy staff, extolling the virtues of everything RM

our regular postie got changed a few months ago but one day his car wouldn't start so I went and jumped him

Jumped him. Bet that was a nice surprise for him.

What excuses are they giving for that?

yes,but the items have to get to that office! do people still not get this?
then if theres a backlog they need to work through it
my old office got 14 yorks of tracked packets yesterday.thats 11 more than normal
so around 1100 extra tracked packets

Its a symptom of the english disease, bone idle. always moaning about conditions, pay etc.
My bloody postie always walks across my lawn, in fact he has created a path, always leaves parcels without ringing.
My symptom of ED is I havent tackled him about it.

We are still snowed in. The main village road it now open but the lanes and are still covered in compacted snow and ice. Too dangerous for them.

Paper lady is getting round by car all right.
