If I'm not throwing mail in and every day I'm moved on to a different walk, how do I count the numbers of election bollocks I deliver? Seems there's no easy way of doing it.

You can't, it's another way the reserves lose out to somebody with a regular duty, you'd have thought after all these years that the money would be put into one pot at the DO and shared out equally amongst all the posties.

Can only imagine the chat at boardroom level when they anticipate the lovely avalanche of cash coming in and then someone pipes up:

“You don’t think running the service into the ground and basically telling people we don’t like delivering letters anymore will affect the huge election revenue we normally take, do you?”…

I have an approximate guess, it’s never been questioned. I do it daily until all the cards etc. are delivered. I don’t think you need to be exact.

x your delivery points by the (agreed locally I think) amount per address.

How the hell are we supposed to know what is 'addressed and unaddressed candidate mail' - PAID
and what is 'additional postings, including D2D items, issued locally by Parliamentary Candidates or political parties, which are over and above this election material' - UNPAID !
This is a recipe for getting shafted by management

Agree, I have a feeling the main parties will be delivering their own stuff this time.

I think people should be paid for the actual prepping part of polling cards etc. That is where the real work is done, as you are usually given 3 days to deliver them anyway, so you just take them to houses where you have other items.

Trolls usually get more traction when they vary their act a bit rather than becoming a crushing bore.
