What else can you expect when shareholders and profit's are put before a decent daily postal service.

People who can't tell a budget from a budgie.....

We have so much to spend, agreed amounts on hardware, software, staff costs, consultancy, with some contingency - it's not really helpful coming back to me having overspent on hardware (without discussion or agreement) and expect the magic money tree to be in bloom.......

The pain in my wooden leg. Takes me an hour longer every year to deliver all the letters on my round ...

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Beat em with the exec level approval for all spend stick, now with added red tape.

That usually does the trick

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Cos' I love spending all day every day approving PO's. ;) (our IT spend is £27 million a year....)

We try to give people responsibility and latitude, and then someone has to behave sub-optimally....

I'm efficient :)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I have far too many moans and hates to list specifically so I'll just say - grr ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Heh I spent most of yesterday doing the paperwork to justify £90K of capex on network equipment... and that's even with it being re-billed to one of our customers with a tasty margin.

Woe betide you if you drop your mobile phone or have an accident with your laptop ;)

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

That is very true but year by year the service has got worse and now all we will have is a third rate service since privatisation as both Labour and the Conservatives increasingly ran it into the ground during those last 10 years.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

Another day of no post! I'm getting really pee'd off of this.

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

As a rule our local postal service is good. The problem I keep having is that my address is:

Mr R W Davies
Rhyds Towers
North Wales Village
XX11 1XY

The problem there is that there's another person down the road with the address:

Mr R W Jones
Rhyds Towers
Station Road
North Wales Village
XX11 1XW

and I regularly receive their post, and as I live alone I naturally open any envelope stuffed through the door without checking (when you see a water bill posted through the door you don't tend to check the address as a matter of course), so I end up having to sheepishly stuff the now opened letter through their letterbox.

At least they're not that far away. My parents' post keeps getting mixed up with another address 7 miles from where they are!

Re: Moans and Pet Hates part 8
 

I think we have a new postman. He just appeared looking lost then disappeared. It seemed like he was looking for an address all the while having a big stack of post in his arms.

I've posted on this subject before but it really winds me up dog poo in a swing park where children are playing, took Drew and his two friends to a local country where it has a coffee shop, nature trails and of course a swing park. The swing park had dog poo in it and I thought how selfish of the dog owners to let their dogs not alone into the sealed off play area but also let them mess in it where children are more than likely to stand in it. I am a dog owner and when my dog poop's in the street for example I pick it up with a scented bag and dispose of it in a dog litter bin. Really winds me up people who don't pick up their dog poops anyway but even more so when in a swing park where children are playing. :mad:
