TBH I hadn't thought of that but I don't think there is a limit on RD.

I don't know what it is about Saturdays, but every single week I have usually, 8-9 R/D and 4-5 Specials, mainly packets and none big enough to throw up to the driver. So my trolley, instead of having 2 bags of mail has 1 of mail and 1 of packets, and I've got to keep the packet one with me 'cos of the specials. During the week I never have that many, usually about half what I get Saturday. We don't take mailsort on Saturdays, but as that has been replaced with DSA (same sh**, different label), these light, early Saturdays are a joke.

Still on the bright side, I've never had more than 2 cards worth or RD/Specials though one of our drivers once had over 180 Specials (all for the same place) but the PHG was pulling what little hair he had, out. Laugh? I nearly started.

Nice one JP... I had the same row back in my DO years ago and we came to 6 as the MAX...for Reg,,, and R/D's was 10 i think?>>? But that bit was local agreement... This is just for walkers.... Come to think of it mate We in E DO's got away with so much more than you boys n girls do now.... FECK THAT LOT... 140 taken out and 550 all together....

Well i can take my hat off to ya dvbuk.. I would of flipped me lid n sulked in the canteen...

That amount is just unreasonable...

If RM want that amount it should be a incident case and done on someone brought in on S/A... But bang goes the days when a Screw used there brains.....

I do my reg first

Dont care if there at the start,midde or end of my walk,they all get done before 13.00,and it means my duty takes longer

so less flexability for me when it comes in

Wish I could do that but between the 2 farthest points of my delivery its a 2 mile walk.

years ago (1996 i think) we had a mass drop of recordeds from the old MEB giving Â£50 back to all the council properties in the area. My mate had 164 of these things and left the office at 9 and had done 2 STREETS by half 11

The biggest problem was leaving a notice left form because the word spread like wildfire that the postman was giving away money

and he was as popular as Gemma Atkinson in a 'SNOG ME FOR A PENNY' competition

as people waved P739's at him!!! He finally returned to the office at 4.35 to be met by a 100 metre queue at the callers kiosk

But after reading dvbuk55's earlier post this is but a drop in the ocean... I would have gone home sick pretty sharpish
