Door To Doors

Post by ted_e_bear »

Or rather the quantity of them, last year was pretty lean there were maybe 4 or 5 weeks we had none, rest of the year maybe 2 or 3 with the odd exception of 6 a couple of times.

Anyway so far this year it's been two lots of 6, one each of 5 and 4 and an 'easy' week with only 3, and it's back up to 5 again next week.

Is it similar elsewhere or are we just lucky :chuckle

We’ve had way more this year and last year than we did in 2023, back then we had a good few weeks without any.

They seem quiet this way. I can go 2-3 weeks without getting any in the post then I can get 4-5 delivered.

So you're saying that the DO that covers where I live is failing to deliver them? If they are not failing to deliver them then what I get delivered to where I live is the proper figures. :cuppa

As long as there is the frame it doesn't matter.

Our rep has informed us that offices up North only get 1 or 2 a month.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Unless there is a time issue (coupon on the D2D for example) we warm call and if they go into next week they go into next week.

Some DP's who never get any mail for weeks on end can end up with four weeks of D2D's, till they get a leccy bill, TV licence reminder or similar.

Up north from where ?

I'm up north from quite a lot of the UK and we've got loads of them.

I only remember we've had Farmfoods a couple of times already this year because I absolutely hate their leaflets that leave your fingers black at the end of every loop. I see many colleagues are faced with the tough choice of putting their jacket in the wash to eliminate the black smudge on their sleeve or preserving the iron-on logo.
The machine stops.
