I'd imagine fairly soon but more likely they would have stopped you in the street. So it isn't likely to be them.

theyd have told you when you got back to the office or the very next day, they wouldnt send you out on delivery again with more specials as they would see you as risking their security.

People like their weekends off don't they. The most popular thing for all customers to say on Fridays is 'have a nice weekend' which always grates a little. Working on Saturdays is probably the main reason why RM has such difficulty employing new staff. It doesn't particularly bother me but a lot of people have children or want to go and watch football etc . RM have a sort of double standard on it in that we don't get paid extra but if someone wants to post an SD to arrive on a Saturday they have to pay an excess of I think three or four quid on top of the set charge.

What annoys me about Saturdays is their sometimes insistence that you start at a certain time, as against treating you like an adult and letting you come in a bit earlier and 'job 'n knock'. Oh no, it's you come in at this time and finish at such and such. Jeez, it's Saturday for crying out loud. Really, what does it matter, as long as the bloody mail gets delivered?

I know we can't moan really, like I knew it was part of the deal when I signed the contract, but if you treat a person right with a bit of common sense then they might remember it when you need a favour. It's the little things like that make me shake my head and give me no incentive whatsoever to help them out when they're in the s**t or come round begging for lapsing to be done on a Saturday :left:

Brakes seized on my HTC and had to push it around for 12 miles.
Took an extra 70 minutes to complete. DOM yapping about it needing to be done in 5 hours or less.

you probably should have contacted the office (can be done through PDA) and told them you have an equipment failure and insist they come out and replace it.

I informed him before I left the DO and that it was 20kg over in weight - 'you'll just have to make do for today' was the response.

Hadn't watched any of The Walking Dead since Carl died so caught up the last 6/8 episodes.
