I have been told that postmen/women were sent home saturday because of the snow, this isn't a vent as such but why on earth would they be sent home? Also as of yet i still haven't seen any deliveries today.

  • Because the RM have a duty of care for their staff and don't want them slipping and breaking a leg as people are more important than pacrels perhaps?

    Our postie has done a great job (work and home) but it did take 2 weeks for a copy of Fifa to get to me (it was a case of bottom of the pile on day 1, then doing day by day processing and working to the bottom of the pile...ggrrrr!).

    What is annoying is having a re-direction set up, paying for this service and having some things actually being posted to the old address! Ggrrr!

    Loads of businesses sent their staff home early when it snowed. Would you rather your employees are safe at home or struggling home or stranded?
