very correct DGH

I had to laugh as the twat had left a packet in the blue bin the week before and it went missing nearly loosing his job [lots of OT and sucks the boss off so was ok]
I love the unique way we talk about our "valued" colleagues.
Wow, if only I had the time to try 18 neighbours to leave a parcel that is a dozen doors away. What if you get a dodgy neighbour that takes the parcel off you and then decides not to give it to the intended recipient claiming they didn't take a parcel at all? What are Royal Mail going to do - knock on their door asking what happened to that parcel or ask you what you done with it?
And what if the person that you left the card at number 1 to collect the item at number 18 then takes the parcel from number 18 but decides to drive up to callers claiming that they never received it at all??
Sometimes, its best to just do the job the way it was intended
On the face of it, shareholder value is the dumbest idea in the world.

That shite is keeping you, me and everybody else in the firm in a job
Exactly that !
I bet you never did callers office, did you mattycash? You should...

I don't think there's been a day in the last 10 years where I've come back with nothing. Might give Phil a shout and ask how I plan my route delivering 20+ specials a day so I get rid of them. Just think of the savings Royal Mail make in Phil's office on P739 cards.
JPro , my thoughts exactly ... update from Moya " be like Phil " must be signing for stuff and delivering it .
Just seen an article saying that a Postman signed for a recorded containing an autograph and the dog ate it .2 nd time at same house allegedly

A lot of neighbours will often refuse as they feel they are being used had one guy threaten me for asking if he would take his next door neighbours parcel kind of put's you off asking anybody again!
Yep, I've had a couple tell me in no uncertain terms to never knock their door again if it's not their stuff. I've also got several people on my duty who refuse to sign for their neighbours because they can't stand them and are very vocal about it at the door. Not much community spirit on a couple of my walks.
And if Phil had some of the blocks of flats I deliver to he wouldn't be trying 18 neighbours. If he could manage to rouse any of them from their drugged stupor I'd defy him to get beyond three before getting tired of the insults or assaulted
