I was delivering mountains of Christmas cards and the odd packet today marked 10th, 11th, 12th December. This stuff must have been SOMEWHERE.

Me too. I also had tonnes of catalogues and brochures that were meant to be delivered before Christmas. Where have they been hiding?

And then, when I arrived home, my STAMPS had arrived plus Simon’s love letter to us!! My local DO must look like a bomb site.

I'm sure with the all the latest PDA data, combined with SISO RM will be pulling a sh*t load of hours out of your office some time soon! :arrrghhh :whistle
Enjoy your halcyon days, they won't be lasting much longer :wave

Thing that urks me more is that Union and hell Ofcom are really damn slow when it comes to capitalise on these things. No use in saying, "Oh we'll keep an eye on it". Need to march their asses around the offices and be taking them to task if all mail and parcels are to be treated equal. By the time they've decided to pull their thumb out, company's already slipped out the backdoor and the s**t will be cleared. 🤷
