Further Things That Are Wrong (Part 1)

I exchanged very similar size and weight packages with a friend in Portugal. My postage was €11.50 while his was only €5. His was tracked and signed for. Mine was not.

Despite this being very wrong. The fact is that the bulk of the work in postal services is at the delivery end.

The question I’m trying to ask is basically how does the postal charges between Ireland and Portugal add up? Who gets what? I assume there’s more money to be made receiving a parcel than delivering a parcel?

It’s all about Teminal Dues mate.

Universal Postal Union

Thanks. It touched on the subject there a little in relation to imbalance between the US and China.

But I suppose the real question is the difference in postal costs between Ireland and Portugal. Why is it so expensive here?

[TheUlteriorMotive]

A postman in Ireland starts at about 30k a year.

A postman in Portugal starts at about 12k a year.

That would explain a lot.
I’ve noticed a lot of post women over there also. Probably part time.

[Massey]

The P+T used to be a great job once upon a time

Surprisingly short term alright but at least the sick cunt has been caught.

It gives me a shiver the thought of what’s still at large when a fucker in his position was at this.

A wexican was caught similarly last weekend.

Whoa now a second, the hardships they faced were incredible. It was, in the main, manual labour - digging, dragging and mullocking while trying to make quotas.

Do you think a postman in Ireland should earn less than 30k?
