Unbelievable.

In at 7, home at 11.

I was on a rural delivery too which is a 20 minute drive away, so account for 40 mins driving time, plus the 20 minute drive home.

So 3 hour delivery including throwing out some flats and setting in.

:Very Happy

Some serious "regional differences" I see - in at 0615 done by 1330 ... and that's on a 4.48hr contract ...

docket booked anyway ...
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

In at 8.00 last night, finished at 08.15 this morning (CSS). I think I was the last one to leave. Most were out by 07.30 so would be done by 10.30 (ish).

And the office was clear. I don't know how, they either paid an obscene amount in docket or they hired an artic, and the stuff is in a car park somewhere. (Not that I'm inferring that RM would ever, ever, ever do something like that...Oh no, not RM, no definitely not :whistle )
