Well the DFS stuff doesn't have a RTS address on the outside of the envelope so I stuck them all in a sensitive waste bag.

I've not been made aware (but I am a mushroom) of anywhere to send them back to.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Busier today than Tuesdays usually are. More packets today, 9 recorded. Plus a recorded letter. The sun was out, which was just as well because I was totally fed up at the end.

You know the score by now - Postman does it, willful delay. Manager ( or their pet ) does it, "operational requirement"
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Did'nt have the best start to the day, left home to meet my lift at 5.20, he did'nt turn up so waited for my back up lift to turn up, he did'nt see me and drove past, so back to home to ring office and tell them I was going to be late. I knew it was going to be busy today and I were'nt wrong, got into the office to be greeted by about 10 mech bundles, a huge stack of flats (including DFS :evil/mad ), 2 packet bags and a load of large pkts. I managed to get out on time, the van was full, 4 red trays, 2 perstops, 2 pouches, and all the large parcels, managed to just complete in time,delivery took 4.5 hours.
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
