Did you report it as an accident? If so then that'll fekk up your DO's "safety record" :crazy:
Thought better of reporting it..... Not like it was a major injury! :crazy:

Ayway, today was pretty busy packet wise. Managed to get them all apart from one either delivered or D2N. While delivering mail I also posted some "Littlewoods" catalogues through letterboxes which Y*d£l had left on customers doorsteps..... :roll:

Finished by half 2, so not too bad! :dance
Yodel paying you for that?

I'd leave them on the doorstep if I were you. The Yodel driver may have been instructed to do that so that their manager could quickly do a drive-by and check that the deliveries were being done. I know from my own experience of doing it in a former job that that's why leaflet deliverers leave them sticking out of the letterbox.

Oh righty ho then! Didn't think of it like that, the reason I popped them through was incase a customer complained thinking RM had doorstepped them!

Snap. Did a row of another walk on the other side of town, due to a cull. Extremely hot and really busy today.
