As the Ice did not clear till 1200 yesterday and the Managers did not send us out till 1130 and then only with packets - today was a killer - despite only taking 3 rows and packets, not sorting the 2nd phase or 2nd boxes and getting out at 8:30 - only just finished - Monday is going to be a
We get sent out in all weather, it is never too bad to go out.

During Xmas MCs process Outward mail before they start the Inward mail so if your local MC has a lot of outward mail the night shift might not even touch the Inward by the end of the night so it gets processed by earlies and lates and gets sent out to DOs the next day.
