That's exactly my point Annie! The postie's who've been doing the job for years and years generally do an excellent job. Its the temp workers and those on short contracts that get away with murder. I know I shouldn't tar them all with the same brush and I'm sure some temps are very good but they won't be held accountable for mistakes the same way the 'old boys' are and as you say, there is no pride taken in the job by those who are there today and gone tomorrow. Big business has a lot to answer for putting profit before service and before the rights of the workers who have been there doing a cracking job for years.! Rant over!!!
