I think what you meant to say was 'because of a 10% reduction in mail, there was no mail again for me to deliver today' :crazy: :crazy: :crazy:

About normal for a Wednesday in our office. Had a bit of lapsing to do, which involved a bit of travel too. Found out that our lapsing will increase from half a row each to two thirds as of next week. Got caught in the rain about 1.30 until I finished.

Busy as usual, although strangely, there were a few gaps here and there on my walk today. Packets seemed on the light side, maybe people on holiday not ordering their usual E bay stuff. Very heavy rain, with thunder and lightning early morning until about 10.

I've had a quiet day, if you can call it that. 90% of my drops. poxy geo route. It makes a change to have a quiet day as I'm going through the fifth attempt by my DOM to blacken my record. I'm a rep and have been the victim of 4 audatious stitch ups to get me the sack. All i've done is to perform my role as CWU rep.
Is there anyone on here who worked at bromsgrove D.O in 2003-04
