I'm sure it could be left for him in the same way if you put your mind to it. And with something really offensively smelly hidden under a seat maybe?

The weather made the day. Frosty start and then clear sky and sun for the rest. :Very Happy

Mail average for wed = tons of packets. :sad:

Second day in the job, out with a colleague to get experience of what should be my own walk as from next week. Lovely day for it, nice and sunny for pushing the HCT around! :Very Happy

Cats not supplied any longer, there are new shoes, very similar looking to Cat shoes - and they also claim to be "waterproof".... now available.
A few posties in our office have them, they got them over the past week or two. I can't recall the manufacturers name of said shoes, but they have got Royal Mail on them as well as "labels/tags" too, that'll stop people trying to flog them on E-bay... or will it?

They look kind of bulky for a walking shoe, the exact model isn't on the website.
