When Royal Mail managers start banging on about health and safety, just walk away from them. There is taking the piss, and there is the unique Royal Mail way of taking the piss.
No lapsing for me yesterday, didn't finish delivery till half 3! Not helped by arriving at my part time hours to find 2 bags of packets & second wave of mail to throw in. Time I got that done, and tied up I didn't start my first letter till 10am!
Had some busy days recently. The heat has been, for me at least, the hardest thing to deal with. Day off today and no phone call or text so far. Sun shining brightly again.
Another hot day out with the trolley. Just cannot drink enough water. However I am getting a lovely tan LOL.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
Was walking along today with Royal Mail shirt on, pouch bag, bundle in my arm, Royal Mail hat on, van was a few meters up the road in plain view and someone says to me "Are you the postman"

Sounds about right LOL.
The other one is "are you here to read the meter"

If another customer says "oh what lovely weather for you" when iam sweating buckets, I swear I will swing for them.

Or 'Are you the parking warden?' in Central London.
Trolley walk today, covering for regular postie on this walk. In at 9:00, out at 9:30ish, back to 11:45. Quiet day. Seemed to be more door-to-doors in my bundles than addressed mail.

Not bad today! I think I got lucky as a lot of others were overloaded with packets,the walk I do is usually one of the heavier for packets but not today.We will see what Friday brings!
P.S.
I HATE that bloody pop-up ad on the main page!
7 seconds? more like 20!
Walk was fine, van unfortunately wasn't, it had a disagreement with a grit bin and a heavy scrape or two on the wing
What's the script with touching this up, can I do this to avoid it going down official channels, sure a tiny bit of filler in the scrape which is minor, quick sand down, primer and finding royal mail red paint and it'll be good as new.
