Wow the park and loop guys are getting hit this year with packets and large parcels.

Being on a trolley walk at least I can check a few double packets out. Mind you still had 3.5 dropbag of packets and 5 mech trays which still seemed like a lot. :roll:
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..........

Parcelgeddon!

Remember at one time at Christmas when they used to stop d2ds and deferred the crap mail like catalogue's, not any more it seems :arrrghhh

Also, 30+ specials (and rising) between 2 p&l and we are not getting out until 11, 2 hours to fit in these specials on top of everything else is starting to piss me off
