👍👍
Bring it on. I'm tired of my parcels being stolen and damaged by the workers.
So wholesome
I started with postal mail since 1986 , my first letter was to BBC and after with 68 countries in the world, like Brazil Uk Indonesia ......... untill 2013 I stopped because no one want answer me, the people who wrote me betwen 18 to 90 years old about 600 people, I have 1400 stamps and postcards from the world especially Germany and UK Nostalgia!
Postal Cadets where basically cheap labour, used by the Post Office to reduce overtime. (In fact the adult staff had tried to stop the introduction of cadets because of this.) I was sentenced in 1979 to two years as one. We where placed on rotating mornings and afternoons from the age of 16. The first full week past my 18th birthday, I was placed on a night shift, in what was known as the IPS. (Inward Primary Sorting) at Bham's HPO, now The Mail Box. The film of the Code Sort Area in Bham, brings back faces from the past, with whom I worked; almost all now would be in their late 60s to mid-70s; three of the people in the film moved to Sutton "Z", (Surface foreign) Unlike Matthew's experience, mine was awful and I regularly finished my stint on the coding desk with a headache; through concentration! (I was particularly fast and accurate and once up to speed, muscle memory would ensure the speed was kept up - accuracy was expected, as we were monitored and disciplined if we fell short.) What I hated, amongst other things, was having to manually sort after the coding work finished (usually about 21:00) Instead of going on to my own duty on the "Forward Roads", we were put on the heaviest, like the South West, East Midlands, West 1 etc... so crammed and full to the brim, that there were two PHGs to a letter fitting, all the letters and parcels HAD to be cleared, so again, one had to work like crazy to clear it and get it done. I was over the moon when an opportunity came to move to another branch. Dust off my feet! I loathed the place and the Post Office (can't go into all the reasons here, (but I could), luckily though, I received a reprieve and managed to leave, go to college and university (Nothing gained from working at the PO, well, only being able to touch type this comment.) Can't imagine how bad it would of been to have stayed and remained there all my working life. As for changing the clocks, NOT a chance in Brum! I'd forgotten the "J", i.e. BJ. though. Glad it worked out for you!
Doesn't want to talk about the loss of jobs. When I was a Xmas temp at royal mail 10 years ago, was told that the company takes on very few new staff. Rather pay an agency good money to provide a zero hours temp.
Machine can tell if a letter is first or second class but they don't have one to sort letters into the same address so some poor old bugger has to manually do it by hand lol
The other thing that needs to improve in the postal service is training staff properly and throwing them on to a walk where they have not been taught how to deliver the mail and prep it in the correct order.
How does this guy park on double yellows I don't get it?

As a disabled customer in Worthing BN11 I've lived in my home for 21 years my disability pass had been sent back with a note from Royal Mail that we cannot find this address when Royal Mail delivers all my post my electric bill hasn't turned up and another letter haven't turned up as well please will you look into this..
Lovely, we watched it with my son and daughter after reading a book about a postcard. They asked how was it working to send a postcard in old days. We watched your videos and saw that you are able to combine technology with old way of communication. Thank you for sharing.
What an incredible accent! Thanks for subtitles. I wonder how do they understand each other.
Nice video
Pas ouf
TCHATCHEUR LES GARSSSS
May she Rest in Peace! She's done soo much and today we remember her for her actions and certainly her ability to handle them. ❤
Royal Mail in 2023 is a terrible place to work with completely unachievable workloads 😢
How long my letter in delivery from Jubilee MC to London Victoria Delivery Office!?
Thats how it used to be.....!
Royal Mail is now becoming a gig economy job with brutal workloads and conditions 😢 just a race to the bottom now
People call or chat nowadays. Less letters means less money 😢 I just realized that postal services will completely die within 5 years all over the globe, so I sent 2 letters last week and now I'm going to start postcrossing while it is still possible.
@@harryweiss4669junk mail is a massive source of revenue for Royal Mail, who plead poverty and the CEO Simon Thompson left with a 700,000 pounds pay off 😂😂😂😂
Blue shirts are the best! I got given a Harrington jacket by a colleague who retired and it is the best jacket!
Would have liked to have seen the postal engineers uniform
No packages on that walking route?
I didn't realize that CFC machines were so slow. 20-24k an hour would be impossible at my facility! It's so interesting to see the differences though~
im here cause i need to see where my check they put in the mail
Can’t wait to get some! They look great!
Always like the handwritten letters more than typed and emails. Anyone here to swap a letter/postcard?
So have I just watched a video on how to get rid of staff? will all these robots pay pensions for future employees who are retired?
This one tugs the ole heart strings lol, I just sent my girlfriend a letter of a drawing i did for her yesterday and even though it only has to travel about 80 miles down state here in the US. it's so cool to see just how much work goes into the delivery of that special letter, being a EX Amazon worker, I understand the shipping process, but I never knew how U.S.P.S. does it and I'm sure it's not too different than this video here! great work and thank you so much to all the wonderful workers that are in charge of these special deliveries ❤.
Yes, let's put more people on the dole. Total pricks. We call the york. It's made in york, that's how it got it's name. Royal mail engineering has ALWAYS produced shit, that doesn't work.

Follow the thievery.
This is shameful! Just to put people out of a job. I CONDEMN THIS! #NOAUTOMATION #KEEPOURJOBS
No, this is just how to keep up with the increasing volumes of packets
@@tgm9991 no. It’s just money making tyrants doing people out of jobs.
Why is it put through the sorting machine then cased? It was already in delivery order!
and it gets lost in transit because royal mail are a bunch of fucking worthless wanks.
Just what I'd like to see :-)
The end red K In go get irritated type everything orange the end fan but You
I mailed two letters two days ago. They were going to two of the teachers I had when I was in elementary school, which were a guidance counselor and a music teacher. In my letters, I told my guidance counselor that I'm sorry for lying to her and I told my music teacher that I'm sorry for calling him evil. They still haven't written back yet. They're probably outraged at me.
Aawe, probably not! The apology note most likely helped them forgive you. 💗
@StephieGsrEvolution Well, Mrs. Mallam (the guidance counselor) called the police department right after she got my letter and 50 text messages and emails. A cop came over to my house and talked to me. He was very nice, handsome, and understanding. Mr. Peters (the music teacher) still hasn't written back to me. Now I'm finished writing a letter to a guy I went to elementary school with. His name is Matt. Matt was a huge fan of presidents and sports and still is today. Matt even said that he wanted to become the president of the United States when he grew up.
@@hannahduggan3599 yeah, it probably wasn't the letter, but 50 texts and emails that made it worse. 😰 Maybe just chill and try to look foward to making new memories!
Stop being a liar !!
@@mensax8054I am not a liar. I wrote letters to more people I have known since elementary school. Not one person wrote back.
The blue balloon is so cute, just unnaturally standing still while the mail moves about
At 2:18 can be seen the LEGO rubber-outer.
Close them all down. Email is faster and it can't get lost or damaged. Or even stolen
Letters are reducing considerably mainly because of electronic mail and parcels are taking over now.
Was George in the grumble weeds 🤔
mailbox 📫 on my desk
A lot of jobs lost
This video was super cute glad I watched it. Thanks for explaining the process! ❤
😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
This was so fun
WOW this looked liked a fantastic exhibition, I'm so upset I missed it! I absolutely adore postcrossing which I started during lockdown, it made a huge difference to my happiness hearing from people all over world.
Me too, although postcrossing should come with a health warning. It's highly addictive!
@@stephwalford7911 True! I'm addicted
I like how the machine can tell if the letter has a first class stamp or not. I wonder if it diverts all the second class stamped letters to a waiting room for a couple of days, and then, after they've done their time, puts them back on the conveyor belt..
i think the first class is just handled first or handled faster a waiting room is just silly
@@shafiulcse I think the person just meant it as a silly joke 😄
All the letters are processed at the same time initially. The mail being stacked in 1st and 2nd class stacks on the machine. The stacks are emptied into different containers. The first class containers are taken away to be sorted and when that's done the second class containers are worked on.
