Everyday is taken on its own working period merits, so if you do 7-9 hours you are entitled to 40 minutes meal relief, or is this another local agreement gem?
Surprised I finished before 2, seemed hell of a lot of packets on the walk frame, guess it was one of those days where the volume of several parcels (that were under 40x40x10cm so not one to pass to driver officially) made things seem worse than they were (albeit I had over 15 signatures, pretty average for any day yet alone Xmas)...

Do you do P & L ? it sounds a nightmare, in fact I wonder if all the people saying it has been bad so far are doing P & L, as so far in my office, who have not incorperated P & L yet, we seem to be finishing about normal time, 2-3pm weekdays, 12-1pm sats, though mail has increased, not by that much

I noticed that too, don't get me wrong, it was heavy but not double a normal Monday (maybe it's all going to hit tomorrow but then I've been given Tuesday off so I don't really care ).

We got slaughtered today,i had 4.5 sacks of packets 8 boxes of flats! 3boxes of mech and a load of hand sorted stuff...took about 4hrs to deliver which i know is not as bad as some have it.
We are not P/L yet.

I thought it was the mail centers that have the busiest day today If so then I guess that we will see this big increase tomorrow and for the rest of the week

I'd love to have one of those light duties, you must be a senior FTer

Mail wasn't as heavy as I thought it would be but the packets made up for it. The parcels are piling up in the office, and it doesn't look like they will be shifted soon.
Nice day today, got put on a round I like, lightish mail and fairly light packets compared to last few days. I rekon we'll get hit from tomorrow onwards though
Off today but yesterday was a piece of piss. We have P&L here and they've put in a packet duty so we don't have any parcels other than what will fit in our bags. Makes a hell of a difference...
Mail was nice and light today but plenty of Specials, 59 in total and 1 tracked. Quite a few large packets mainly Amazon. We are going to get hammered the rest of the week, one Artic after another coming into the yard. Apparently a lot of stuff delayed overnight due to the weather
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets
