Post office Drivers

Should have Boxing Day off at the very least.

They should be banned

Ok. Then what? Greta delivers your mail?

Maybe that was it B@stards got me in on boxing day so he flipped out and went on a road rage bender

He's African, we have a surfeit of HGV drivers round here, will British drivers not work for Royal Mail wages, or are agencies involved?

We pay amoung the best at the Royal Mail I think Greenford is mainley black and asian

Not just Greenford...only 49% of London is/were white British (On 2011 figs)..heaven only knows what the figures are in 2019.

Its an amazing change in such a short time, white Brits will cease to exist in century or two consigened to history and all self inflicted

b-b-b-b-b-b-b-but Diversity Is Our Strength, surely ?

That's another matter, but can a foreign HGV driver get a job here with a licence obtained abroad? A bit random if so.

You can drive in France on a UK licence but if you live and work in France as an HGV driver you have to re take your test. Think OZ Australia is the same

The Post Office driver claimed ignorance of his wagon pushing another vehicle under his nose. How could that be possible? Where was he looking? Did he not feel the extra forward resistance or smell of burning tyres? Had another activity in his cab handicapped his judgement or ability to observe?

I find that shocking not noticing his wagon was pushing another vehicle at the front without his knowledge to say the least. An awareness course is the least I'd expect from the Post Office for its driver.

Post office provides periodic driver training in addition to the cpc requirements.
I also drive a Daf CF truck not the highest cab by any means but the bottom of the windscreen is still high and if you look at the photo the top of the car is lower than the windscreen. It's not the first something like as happen although its the first I heard of one of our drivers being involved. I don't any details yet on how it happened but it is likely that that photo and how it happened  will feature in future PO training courses thighs like this normally do

macarony, can't remember from tuther thread but did you state you have to work Boxing Day?

Yer bit of a tw@t we are small office less 40 the big offices get the option to  either take a days AL or toil we can't cover the jobs so I  am having to work Boxing day

I'm postie with small van and as far as I know have the day off. It's the following day I'm gonna have a battle to get off.

It's because we hgv and under our pay deal all bank holiday are just a normal working day
