What is Royal Mail like to work for in 2026?

I have seen some posts going back over the years, but I'm looking to see if much has changed.

I don't want to dox my location, so I'll ask broadly. Are there any posties from the NE with insight into their depot?

Is my tyre salvageable?

Noticed the puncture today, which must have happened a few days ago. Re-inflated tire and topped up sealant. Headed out for ride as it seemed to plug the hole. Sealant started spraying out on my ride. I put the puncture to the bottom to allow the sealant to do its thing, to no avail. I then tried the Muc Off plugs and air just started hissing out at 59psi.

Bike fit advice.

How does the fit look? Any adjustments to be made?

Home bleach and tone has gone slightly yellow.

The toner I used doesn't appear to have corrected the brassy/yellowness of the bleach, nor the purple shampoo, albeit only used once after the bleach. I was aiming for Atomic Blonde by Jerome Russell Bblonde. Does it need bleaching again? No developer with the toner, as I was under the impression that particular toner didn't need it. 30vol developer in with the bleach, though.

Any advice? Thanks.

Hi All,

I am taking part in my first ultra in a few weeks, so forgive me if this is a silly question.

I have received the athlete guide, and it states part of the mandatory kit is "Waterproof whole body cover (i.e. covering the torso from head to ankles), with taped seams."

Would a waterproof jacket, along with waterproof trousers, meet this criteria? Or does it have to be an all-in-one, like a poncho? It feels silly, but I don't want to turn up on the day and get DQ'ed before I even start without checking.

Thanks,

I recently bought a new Giant Propel Advanced Pro 0 about a month ago, and have rode ~500km on it. I haven’t been out for 5 days, and went to go out today but noticed the rear tyre was pretty much completely flat. Before this, I did notice the rear tyre pressure drop about anywhere between 10-20psi between rides (usually over a couple of days) but thought nothing of it until now. The valve core seems in tact and there are no obvious punctures. However, as you can see from the video the all along the sidewall are what appear to be leaks.

Do I need a completely new tyre?
