Why would any bag deliverer drag a bag along the ground, that is either plain laziness or it's a malicious act either way I'd report it to the manager.

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

What do you consider safe place, some people at my office leave them on doorstep, depends on area I guess?, if in dodgy councill estate I wouldnt, but on posh new estate maybe.

Unless its securely locked up the is no safe place, and its up to the managers to find secure safe places. Their are rounds I won't do because the is no safe secure places on them. If mail is nicked, the manager can just as easily say that he or she did not authoised it

I just tend to doorstep them because they are so small I can find places to hide them and leave notes...

Also annoys me... Had a good week yet I still have someone saying 'you're late today' to which I reply 'I'm actually about 30mins early today'

Am I allowed to say c***s on here?

WHAT WAS WITH THE WEATHER

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Got out early - 830 looked overcast but otherwise OK. 20 minutes in it started to snow really heavy and I got soaked. The snow eased off to Hailstones and eventually rain. 3 hrs 15 minutes later as I am finishing I am sweating like a pig because the sun is cracking the slabs. WTF.

Also as usual council sent out leaflets to most of the council houses on my council estate, don't they know its the weekend. Bet they were tucked up in bed at 6.00am the bar stewards. Time for a beer Image
