Asked, "So, how do I ensure the bags are secure then, if I'm delivering up to doorways, inside businesses?"
PSEUDO MANAGER..."You keep it within eyesight."

Erm, I seem to be looking forward when I walk, NOT behind me. And my X-Ray vision isn't wot it used to be either. Funny that...What am I doing wrong?
Funny how they never give an actual answer

Today was like Christmas week - insane amount of packets, many houses getting two or three. One woman on my round had 12 !!! I suppose this is the result of a wet bank holiday "We can't get out, let's stay in and order more stuff"

Yup I'd say it's the result of a bank holiday with very bad weather. Everyone stays in and shops online rather than go out in the rain. The result being a horrendous day for packets today and I doubt it will be much better tomorrow! :neutral:

Still just think of all those smiling happy faces we get when knocking with parcels! :roll:
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Stinker of a day yesterday, latest I've left the depot for a while, mainly due to masses of "manual" while packet levels were a bit heavier than it has been during the rest of the kids' summer holiday. Could have cut-off to finish on time having done less than two-thirds of the delivery! "The holidays are coming." :Boo hoo! :cuppa

Easy Tuesday: 5 D2D for ~240 delivery points ate loads of indoor time; pushed trolley everywhere; filtered mail for next address while standing still etc. and left roughly a quarter of the delivery behind to finish on time after informing lino of my intention to not do lots of overtime to complete.

Bought a twix from the canteen vending machine during my meal relief - two came out instead of one! :dance

The extra chocolate was much needed due to wheens of referendum leaflets today! :crazy:

I assume you're in Scotland from your post so out of interest, are you being paid for delivery of these leaflets?
