Every postman I have ever known had finished his walk and was back in bed by half past six,with two page 3 girls and a case of vintage champagne.

The posties did have it easy but things have changed, they are being asked to do extra rounds with unbelievable amounts of junk mail and parcels due to online shopping and they rarely get finished early. The post office management treat the workers like shite, they just take them off their regular round one day and give them 3/4 times the work and the reponse is 'tough'. There is a bigger issue than workloads and that is privatisation, the post office is the last of our national institutions and pay has always been 'fair', the EU and British government want to force privatisation in order to bring in agency staff( usually foreigners) so they can pay minimum wage. They want workers rights which people fought for such as sick pay, holidays to be a thing of the past and for me the whole situation stinks.
The postal workers are in a no win situation, by striking they are pressing the self destruct button but by accepting the 'modernisation', which is just another way of saying more work/ less pay they are also cutting their own throats. I really do feel for the postal workers but unfortunately the EU will get their way and it will be the death of another industry just like the construction industry.

That was ten years ago, it just is not like that anymore for the majority of postal workers.

Most posties are just rich ex-public schoolboy champagne socialists who want to bring the country to it's knees, while they play golf and drink all day, spending the money they've nicked out of undelivered kids birthday cards. The swines!!

I work for TNT and i used to work for Royal Mail(well Parcel Farce).Some interesting posts on here baout what posties used to do and what they do now.My father in law is a postie and he hates some of his fellow workers as much as he hates the management.The problem is that Royla Mail has been held back by the militant unions for years.Its almost like the Mafia in Manchester.Posties have had it easy for years and without drastic reform wouldn`t stand a chance in any modern delivery service and that includes the union,working practices and wages etc.Its true my next door neighbour who was a postie used to leave for work at 7am and be back in bed for 11am..paid til 3pm.Its still goes on.Spanish Practices,ghost overtime,its all a complete joke and no way to run a company.The whole stinking lot needs overhauling.Its also true that bullying,sexism,and racism is rife!The unions look after a minority and if your usless at your job and dont want to do something then they will back you all the way.If you actually do want to work and think that some lazy bastard is getting away with murder then your on your own.Thats why my father in law hates some of his fellow workers as much as the management as its run like a joke and has been for years.They are just going to have to accpet that jobs need to go.Not just the staff but management to.Jobs went at my place before last xmas..300 to cope with the downturn..it happens,get over it.I`d support this strike if i knew it would actually affect a proper service but its a joke and i for one cant wait for competition to come in weather it be TNT,HAYS or DHL.

I have often seen them at Mere country club on the first tee, polishing their brand-new titleist balls with braille books for the blind that they have failed to deliver,whilst their chauffeur parks the Bentley,prior to a leisurely lunch at La Belle Epoque and an afternoons grouse shooting with the Duke of Devonshire at Chatsworth.
Rags,the lot of 'em...
