One house I couldn't deliver due to 3 large swans walking round the door

Did you endorse the mail - Swans at large?
Absolutely brilliant.

if swans are anything like geese, they're aggressive barstewards !
can't blame u for not wanting to go near them.

Another day another 1st letter delivered at 11, more problems with missing keys, did some o/t, finished at 4:10.
Rain sleet and snow and more of the same tomorrow only with an earlier start.

The reason the Swan has claimed the title for most deceptively deadly is because it really is just that. Although the birds are generally revered as graceful creatures and a symbol of love, they are very aggressive when it comes to protecting their young. Swans will literally fight to the end to protect their young from predators and won’t hesitate to bite you and hit you to try to deter you. The sneakiest trick that the Swan has is to try and drown would be predators by attacking from above and forcing the predator underwater with the hopes of drowning the predator. This goes for humans as well.

after parents expressed concern over the psychological effect it may have on their children if they witness an attack.

I take it their precious little kiddies are banned from watching the Discovery Channel...

Heavy day today, took off 2 grey bags from packet frame that looked like the Himalaya's on top. 10 Red bags all in all with 6 given to the driver for drop bag boxes. Had to fit the rest into the car, wouldn't go on the bike.
Why cant people get these damn packets sent to their place of work? They're never at home to receive them and come up to the office and kick off because when we knocked, they weren't in.

Mail, packets, recordeds, tracked, specials - where is it all coming from? Filled in 25 P739s and only had 1 left at the end of the day (it was a good job so many people where in ). I swear I feel that I do more attendence calls than Yodel (at least I knock the door and don't go straight for the over the fence technique).

Another crap day, when will rm start thinking of the customers and make our route marches smaller. I know where I would like to stick geo route. Got writers cramp with all the P739s I have had to write out. No time for the d2d junk. Some people still not taking their breaks in our office.

Day off. Very cold, so I'm glad I wasn't working. Saw a few of the lads going out late when I was knocking around town. Looked busy today.

My regular postie was over an hour late, so it must have been a shocker. What a day to have off.

So what happened in the cricket?

There was cricket?

I must have forgotten about it. I don't believe there is any cricket being played at the minute. In fact, if there is cricket ongoing, it obviously doesn't count. Glorified exhibition matches, I'm sure.

I've nothing against working my day off sometimes, but it annoys me when you're treated like some kind of criminal when you just don't feel like it. Personally, I plan on pulling an all-nighter and watching the first day of the cricket, so I've no intention of going into work on my day off for what would be another £34 in my wage slip. Had I been offered a more appetising choice of duties, my interest might have been piqued. But why have a day off at all if you're going to be given the third degree for refusing to work on a day that you expected to be yours by right

I take it your team didn't play well then?
