Were they by any chance Downstream Access? Our council letters were marked "Primepost Next Day". Forecasting doesn't work when a DSA operator dumps a million items at the mail centre at midnight.

I thought the DSA companies had specific slots to drop off mail (and I would have thought it would be during the previous day to enable RM to sort out delivery staff levels).

Great day today, due to being on A/L :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana
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

Usual late finish for a Monday although there were few packets. Some changes to walks came in today so a few of the lads were struggling to get their heads around things. Much warmer today and looks as though it will last a while with few if any signs of rain.

Good day which is more than I can say for my colleague who put £60 worth of unleaded fuel instead of diesel into his van, he won't sleep tonight as he reckons he will get some kind of warning, anyone else know or done the same?
NO bags on shoulders please except for Moya who keeps her big fat wage packet in hers

PMSL, yes it'll be at least a warning, did he drive it or realise at the pump?
