Loads of packets. Loads of mail. Loads of wind. Loads of rain.

It's a fun job isn't it?

Not too bad for a Thursday. Bonus was it stayed dry and wasn't that cold.

A dog went for me just as resident came out of door and was about to take it for a walk.When I pointed out that the dog should have been on a lead I was told not so as it was in her garden, I know my rights, said the woman! After I pointed out that I often see her walking it without a lead she told me to shut up! She then proceeded to walk the unrestrained dog! :no no

Me - I'd warn the manager and let him write to her stating suspension of delivery is possible.

Not too bad. Average for the day. At least it didn't rain until the last hour of my duty for a change.

Still loads of packets. Are folks forgetting that Xmas has passed. :hmmmm

With no HMV or Blockbusters there will be more demand for online DVDs and stuff.

I am cancelling my blockbuster dvd through the post subscription since what has happened. I have tried the netflix free month trial and the quality of the online streaming is great. Movies not so up to date but to be honest with blockbuster was hard getting the most recent films anyway. Have been waiting for Hunger Games for months, they must have like one copy doh! After my netflix trial has ended I may switch to lovefilm cause they do a free trial as well :Very Happy

Amazon is getting more out of us, big packages that customers complain about, cause they have small things in them, total waste of packaging
