Sounds like the young post girl is running around carrying heavy bags.
Solution =Use a trolley before it breaks your back.

[TopperGas]

You can't use a trolley to get to every house, plus most parcels aren't heavy just awkward to carry in your bag.

Although she's only confirmed what most of us say anyway, rounds are just getting to big.

I don’t get the carrying a bag on the shoulder anymore, the old excuse of it saves me time etc is gone so why do it? When I’m off & my round gets covered there’s always loads of bags on the back of the hct where someone is looping the roads. I have a block of flats that requires a bag some days but that’s it, the rest of the time people are breaking the ssow & risking their job to possibly save a few minutes

They must have missed my office then.

When your walk is mostly blocks of flats you don’t have any option but to use your bags especially with the amount of packets

When your walk is mostly blocks of flats you don’t have any option but to use your bags especially with the amount of packets

And given that the max weight for a bag in flats is 5kg or 8kg depending on the type of flats you aren't exactly carrying a heavy bag.

Think Amy and her crew need a bit of a lesson.
Wimbledon DO as well.

For them to issue a statement like that is actually quite disgusting when you know the reality of whats happening in DO’s up and down the country. Not surprising yet still utterly shocking.

This person must have never left their office chair. An absolute lie.

I like the "All routes are carefully planned" bollox
Every revision they just add 200 calls to all rounds

[ANDREW CROCOMBE]

Guessing that if you try the RM Pegasus walk planner,.you'll probably find NO walk times for the walks post revision.Covers.their backs when you argue you can't do the.bigger walks. Wonder what % of posties still carry bags at hurtling speeds ?

[kazardaimenu]

Her office is in London. Parcels will get nicked if she leaves a trolley on the street while some f****r signs for a special.

I love how your take away from this article is to attack one of our colleagues for using a bag.
