I couldn't immediately find anything about Mailsort I or II specifically on www.royalmailgroup.com, www.royalmail.com or www.cwu.org.uk but here's the CWU's stance on Mailsort III (as of December 2004): http://tinyurl.com/barneymcgrew: It demonstrates that it is not necessary for Mailsort III to be delivered every day (it does not meet the criteria for the Universal Postal Service) - see section 11.

Very nice day: got out of the house at five twenty and reached the office for five thirty five; threw in a line of D2D's; after throwing in my walk, did all of the kill offs for my walk and most of kill offs for the adjacent walk then went out to city centre with a driver to deliver a York of returned electorate information returns to city hall; got back to office and did a few more kill-offs from adjacent walk - went out with driver shortly afterwards and started walk. First letter 10.15; last letter 13.30 then a bit of overtime two districts away for one hour twenty minutes and got back into the house at about ten past four - a round shift of almost twelve hours. Washed and done prayers and waiting for breaking fast - might have a snooze first!

It's strange you should say that: it's been completely all over the place in our office. People ask me to make estimations of how longer it's going to take to get to X spot on my walk this week, and I have no idea from one day to the next: especially with not getting out some days until 10.00am.

Shitty day today

Post by **TrueBlueTerrier** » 18 Sep 2008, 14:34

Well after Wednesday today was a lot easier. 1 less bag not too many packets and only 3 bulbs - all done now. However did have little note from Scotish Power saying that residents free bulbs were on the way.

majeed · Post by **majeed** » 18 Sep 2008, 14:57

Just as Google Earth showed - no clouds: just glorious sunshine, with a wonderful breeze. Bags were light - practically no bulbs in sight. Started at 6.00am; finished at 2.00pm. Threw-in my own frame in office and alpha-sorted mail for adjacent frame, ready for throwing-in - also sorted and tidied-up light bulbs on adjacent frame waiting to go out and D2D's. At end of shift, lads saw me waiting for bus and drove me down to the delivery office; deposited pink pouch, walked home and now sitting under fan while waiting to break fast at 7.23pm.

Started 7.15, finished 13.15, I get paid 7.45 till 13.45 but I don't mind coming in a bit earlier if I know I will finish a little earlier. I'm Part Time and on a different round each week, sure sometimes I'll work 5mins extra, sometimes I'll gain 5 mins. The strange thing is on many occassions i've done overtime on this round when the usual full time postman cuts off.
I must be one of the few postmen who really likes his job. I know it's not the good old days but I've come from a factory, working 60 hour weeks sat at a desk performing the same task. I'm now doing half the hours for more pay. Hopefully another good day tomorrow.

Ooooh! Poor, poor thing! A ton load of MS3 magazines would have been a better fate! Your parcel bag(s) must have been overflowing this morning! Get your feet up and have a nice cup of tea.
