Pods getting made up area wise that arent next to each other. Imagine trying to get the Specials done on time!!! Bad enough just now
If it's a DO in a town, why not get send a van out (maybe 2) to do all the specials?
What ever happened to the none timed Specials introduced around the time of COVID, were they withdrawn as quickly as they were introduced?

Still see the odd one or two - it's only stuff sent by businesses though, not available to Aunty Gladys sending a birthday card to Nephew Tommy from the local PO.

They still come through. I would say maybe a tenth of SDs are untimed. I can identify most of them by smell, if you know what I mean :roll:
