Utter and total crap.. again! One day management will realise that their methods are not working with regards to some deliveries, despite the fact they say that the times are correct, we constantly go out at least 45-60 mins behind their scheduled times for deliveries and end up cutting off.

No

We had those letters for every house today.

Fantastic organisation from Royal Mail. Not just to have them during the busiest days of the year, but to advertise the cost of sending parcels when a good portion of people will have already sent theirs? Excellent.

Horrific ... finished at 1730 (first letter about 1100) ... we'd had the nod yesterday that it would be "packet hell" today - and what happens ?? "We Love Parcels" to every fecking house ... don't they just KNOW how to keep their workforce sweet ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

Best part of a york of IPS letters not sorted; boxes of mail not thrown in; major packet assistance; in an effort to try and get OPGs to cover most/all of their duty.
