Even if it's real the RM driver did nothing wrong with the overtake, the cyclist was being an idiot not moving to the left side of the road, he was almost staying in the centre of the road once past the parked cars.
Not only was it a dangerous overtake it was very stupid to then chase after him.

The volume of packets was just insane. It won't be long until every day is like this if the growth in packets keeps increasing!

This week was bound to be busy given it's a bank holiday so RM want to still get six days of mail out in five working days. Also it's the end of the month and half term so two additional reasons for more packets to come through the system. BUT RM is in complete denial over this so summer absorption started this week in our DO. Very Xmas-like.

Not surprised or shocked at some of these issues occurring. Vans being left with little fuel or even on the orange light particularly annoy me. Tracked items should definitely not be left lying around the office undelivered though and the DOM as well as others could or should get in trouble for this.
