Unfortuanetly it still is. to get an average pace of 1.8-2mph over a whole delivery you need to average a moving pace of 3.9-4.1 mph.

Screw you, Screwfix, as well as other heavy "flats!"

2-3x normal amount of bundles, due to sheer weight of it all. :Boo hoo!

Luckily not too many of the inch thick screwfix catalogues, but loads and loads and loads of the thin anes!

Looking forward to day off tomorrow, as looks like a lot still to get delivered tomorrow! :roll:

We had to roll yorks of flats yesterday and still had 11 cut offs.

Walked into another heavy day with 6 lots of d2d. Least we cleared. Went 50 mins over.
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..........

Long and tiring. Left office at 9:30, got back to office and signed out for home at just after 3pm. Saw on the sign out sheet the HCT walks either side of me had finished almost 2 hours earlier! :d'oh! mind you, they have ~ 100 less calls each on their walks. :Boo hoo!

I don't know about you mate but I'm paid by the minute. A heavy day like today is a few extra quid in my pocket. In my opinion, those numpties that jog around are only doing themselves out of extra dosh so that they can go home and watch daytime tv. :crazy:
