Lightest I've seen it in almost 18 months of P&L. First five loops fitted into my mini shoulder bag :shock:

Oh look, another Tuesday without the 30 minute national standard work time learning, that is allocated to the Tuesday indoor workload sheets displayed on walk frames...

Anyone would think they are worried of the backlash after the 30mins when eveyone then states they need o/t to complete or will be cutting off. :whistle

So did everyone do the job per spec outdoors, using the LWT for every P&L loop which did not include multiple flat blocks; not leaving the locked HCT unattended for >2mins; filtering mail for the next address outside the previous address' letterbox etc. and finish 30 mins early? :speak to the hand

Very very quiet. Finished before the rain lashed down and wind picked up. We had a WTL today, first one for a long time, its was an iron fist in a velvet glove talk, interesting times.

We had that last year - I think the video was produced by someone who does CITV, its very condescending almost to the point of being insulting.

Not too bad. Not many packets and the mail was ok. Really strong winds started, bringing a shower along about a hour before I finished.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
