I was going to go in early this morning to prep yet more election material, but I'm so sick of wave after wave of that garbage I hit the snooze button. I fell back asleep and had the most wonderful dream...
The company announced it was giving up on the last fifteen years of bollocks and reverting the job to how it used to be. 3-3½ hour walks, on your own on foot, no oversized, no scanners, no Tracked, off the street at 1PM, on the street on Saturdays before half eight, job and finish. I was elated

We’ve only had postal votes to deliver
They’ve have had their own people doing leaflets - stuffed in and sticking out the letterboxes

We had a load of postal vote forms come through at the start of the week, management didn't get emailed about it before hand, normally management get a heads up about any really big bulk postings
We had postal vote packs come in yesterday. All of them First Class. And lots of them. So we had to take the whole lot, not "just take where you're going" and up to three days to clear, as has happened previously with bulk mailings. And asked to leave behind letters on say a quarter of the job to make sure they all got delivered.

I don't know why the higher ups didn't give an exemption to allow us to roll them all over to the next days wave 1, then we could have sequenced them.

Ours came sequenced, 1st class, I'm presuming they were that DSA 1,
(don't tell anyone but they didn't all get delivered the same day )

The markings for normal 1C and the 1C DSA are different. Yours must have arrived at the MC in time to make wave 1, locally they didn't so had to go out on wave 2. I don't think they've all come through yet.

They DID come through as sequenced. All in the main trays (which made a quiet Tuesday spill over into half a second tray). So much for first class being kept separate from the other sequenced mail!
One of the lad's asked me if I could drop him off on the way home, when he got out the car, noticed a massive ink stain on my 3 month old straw coloured velour passenger seat, must have been leaking in his side pocket all day, why is everything Royal Mail provided & do always on the cheap

Cheapo pens ruined almost all my original pre-Dimensions blue shirts. If only I'd bought a pocket protector
Through an alignment of the planets this week I was able to simulate the experience of a first delivery circa 1992. Aside from the one detraction of being five hours late for the first letter, it was a joy. 3 bags, 1 pouch box, 0 packets.
Martin Walsh has raised the spectre of owner-drivers hiving off packets and leaving a skeleton staff to handle USO products (point #10). Extrapolating from the above limited sample, there would be a 2:1 reduction in walks. Now, which is a cheaper means of conveyance: bicycle or bus pass?

We still have a few who wear the full old 80s 90s uniform complete with blue bag - where are they getting it from? Can’t be their same uniform surely?!? Anyway they still moan about having to take any packets at all
’You can't just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they'll want something new.’
