IIRC the topical quote was: Quote “This airplane is designed by clowns, who in turn are supervised by monkeys,” said one company pilot in messages to a colleague in 2016 Perhaps the "monkeys" means "the management", who presumably wouldn't be seen doing any actual work? 4 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that the correct answer is: A woodchuck would chuck as much wood as a woodchuck could chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood. 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No joke at all for those living in that district, where the service ceased normal functioning over 6 months ago and appears to be beyond repair. Don't expect any improvement any time soon. RML and the Post Office may have been separate entities for decades, but the managing culture is exactly the same as that involved in the Horizon debacle, and they are incapable of accepting that anything is wrong, never mind taking action to rectify it which would expose their culpability. Dorking obviously needs investment and recruitment, but that needs capital signed off at the next level up, who will want to know what's going on, so the money will never be asked for while the staff on the ground will be expected to bail the management out by working harder despite being already flat out! Be nice to your postie, it's not his fault... 1 5 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only found out about the dorking disaster by non-arrival of a Christmas card from an old mucker. His opinion - and trust me, he has a few - is that the staff won't bail the management out, because pay and conditions are so far off the pace in that locality, that those that remain are mainly working until fairly imminent retirement. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
