Yes, still enjoying the job!

Pretty much into the groove now, and my Anvil Tractions are getting pretty worn already!

Today was rather heavy packet wise, had to get lino to take some oversized packets off my frame for my last loop (they wouldn't fit in the trolley very well!). Fortunately he passed them onto the packet van driver.
Apart from that a nice sunny day!

Best of all I saved a Tiger while on my round! :nana

(a Garden Tiger moth that is http://ukmoths.org.uk/show.php?id=2229" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;, which was sitting on the pavement looking rather poorly and liable to be trodden on. So I picked him up and popped him on a nearby garden hedge! :angel

Was OK, til 5.03. Eejit waving an N/A card, ranting and raving about HIS PARCEL, after storming into the closed building. We close at 5pm.
Apologised that we were closed, and I was was going ask if he wanted a re-delivery, but...Thats when he started screaming Racist and Ageist abuse at me.
So...politely asked him to leave but he kept going on outside of the office. And on, and on and on.
One of his last statements was..."It's your fault I gotta come ere. You never deliver wen im in. Im gonna wait in my 'ouse tomorrow, and dur first Postman I see in my drive, Im gonna go out and punch im in the fecking mouth, and knock im out!!!!"
Such a lovely turn-of-phrase, lol!!! Such lovely customers we have...

We do Lone Working pm...So, informed the DOM, by fone, also called at the house of the mornings PHG 1 to see if he turns up for his parcel AM, and also rang the Bobbys.
I'm not taking that sort of verbal abuse from anyone, ever.
Police Statement tomorrow to do. Eejit....
