Just saying that we got hammered with packets and post today, tomorrow looks the same, I can't believe people are still online ordering stuff (and then not being in to receive it).

I was informed by some lying prick on the BBC weather programme that the rain would ease around 9am and it would brighten up as the day went on...
I'm now composing an angry letter to Points Of View. :cuppa
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

I wish for some of you Points of View didn't exist, then you might understand why the BBC weather men have been franchised.
Or something like that.

Got wet, then even wetter, then drenched.. and then totally and utterly soaked right through, end result now think I'll try to grow webbed feet to see if that'll help in this soddin' weather! Apart from that it was a light day. The Met Office got the weather spot on for us. The sun appeared more or less on schedule, around 12:30 and the rain soon cleared up! I'm wondering if Him upstairs has got it in for us, what with all this bad weather! So it's time to put my ["webbed"] feet up, two days off now! Off tomorrow and New Years Day too! So that's no more looking like a drowned rat this year!

So...its Saturday opening hours today then?
Pity none of the staff knew, and all the people I spoke to at work said the same...that they filled their N/A cards in, as per a normal working week day.

Think some unhappy customers gonna be contacting the office/customer services asap.

We were so busy today with a massive backlog of magazines that we were offered 4hrs docket to stay in sorting and then complete......no takers!
They got in a load of managers from outside who spent all morning on the IPS so a busy Thursday awaits.
