Must admit I haven't read the entire thread.

What are you meant to do if you deliver to flats where you can't take a trolley ?

Take a bundle then walk all the way downstairs and get another bundle ...... ?

They spent a fortune on Golf trolleys for the staff and the trolleys are all stacked up in our car park going rusty in the rain.

'Should' of been sorted during the revision planning.
Some flats would have to be done by using the van and a small bag.
You have to flag these areas up in the planning stage....it may be that you have to build in time to visit these spots separately using the van and a 5kg bag.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Someone removed mine from the van during my last long weekend and on getting a replacement I saw the wondrous sight of several yorks full of LWTs in the never-used smoking shed. :no no
