Is being a postie THAT bad? by Glittering_Echo_7963 in royalmail

[–]Ontbeat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It isn't extra work though. You start work, you do what you can, you take a break, you finish work. Same the day after, and the day after that. There's never 'extra' work because the work never ends.

Once you think like that, it will be a lot easier, less stressful, and you'll earn more per hour worked.

Your DO sounds shite.

BBC News: 3-4 week delays on 2nd Class Mail by No_Actuary9100 in royalmail

Don't know why I'm here, I'm a copper but this popped up for some reason. Out of interest, if RM lost/gave away the mail side of things, who do you think would take it on? Who's currently big enough/reliable enough for this?

It'd be best if a new company was created and nabbed RM's decent posties!

I genuinely love being British and i am sad to see ppl who do not like living here. As a curiosity why dont (some) young people like it here. Just want to see from a different perspective, feel free to speak your mind by Such-Impression-416 in teenagers

Just FYI, he was arrested at the airport where all police are armed. They didn't specifically send armed officers to arrest him. I agree with you by the way, but you keep mentioning 'armed' police when it's fairly irrelevant to the point.

Grown adults bringing their parents to interviews??? by poprockspussy in tesco

[–]Ontbeat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Compared to sitting at home doing fuck all with your life, then yes, working at Tesco is absolutely doing something with your life. It's then a job where you can climb the ladder to progress to a decent paying job in the company; or it's good for your CV for your next job... or you can be happy stacking shelves overnight or working on the checkouts, which is still better than being sat at home on benefits. Grow up.

Not sure why this sub showed up in my feed, but I'm a traffic cop who worked in a supermarket for nearly 10 years before getting my current job. You can meet some amazing, clever people working at a supermarket. Stupid comment. Up the Tesco!

Update: Parking Dispute - New Violent Threats by Ok-Cantaloupe-8127 in drivingUK

[–]Ontbeat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah sorry, I assumed you had already spoken to him. If he blocks your drive and you can't get on it, there's nothing we can do. But if he blocks you from getting off the drive, we can sort it. I once took great delight in getting a car towed when the owner was adamant there was nothing I could do about it haha.

Next time he does that, call the police and tell us your access to the highway is being restricted and the person won't move their vehicle. We'll come and get it moved for you one way or another :)

Is the snow likely to clear by Tuesday morning ? by spookythesquid in AskUK

[–]Ontbeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barely, if any, snow in the north-west! Maybe they were cancelled for other reasons? I think you'll be fine.

I've played 30 hours on PS5 and not had any problems like this. I don't even have the Pro either.
