Yes, fair comment. That's all I was looking for, not a beating for trolley/no trolley or breaks etc. I suspect Clash is in an urban area as opposed to my suburban one therefore his work may be reduced by the presence of TNT. Anyway, thanks for the responses people.
We've been really out the door ,everyone was on at least an hour docket yesterday ,mind u we won't get paid for going over
Legs once again are dead this morning. We've been busy all week ,

I started on time.
I took my full 40 minute meal relief prior to departure.
I did 1/5th of my D2D. (extra due to BH)
I use my trolley. I scan everything with a barcode. I don't take any shortcuts.
I finished 1 hour early because THERE ISN'T ENOUGH WORK.
What do you do then?
Drag your feet, then accuse anyone finishing early of ruining the job. Then start shouting that lapsing is all their fault, and we'd all still be doing 2 deliveries and starting at 5am etc etc if they just walked slower.
Relativity quiet week but I've booked 3 hours overtime so far, the manager let too many full timers have leave over the week (not that he cares because he's off himself) so the part timers have had big piles of mail to throw in when we arrive. Full timers still managing to get out early and enjoy a nice early dart tho... Pretty inefficient way to run a DO IMO, but if I'm making money from it... then what the hell.

Tell the DOM you haven't enough work and need hours taking out of the office, or make duties part time, or sack a few and lapse the duties.

Today finished at 12:20, smashing my Weds. record by 35 minutes. No early start, but took break after delivery. DOM just let us go home afterwards, weren't sent out again.
I have noticed this before, when you get a nice weekend people aren't sitting inside ordering crap from feeBay etc. so the knock-on is a quiet week plus people away for Easter. Only 3 door-dustbins too after 7,6,7 in previous 3 weeks. I take it most of the rest have found it quiet too?
