Ive never seen so many flats !!!!!

Post by krussel »

This has to be the most heavy new year ive ever seen. We have flats (mainly holiday broch, sky and Saga) stacked everywhere in the office. :shock:
I have a personal stack of about 4 ' waiting to go out in the morning, god knows how many i will get after the ips.
My delivery took 4hr 45min today due to the weight but no one is cutting off :mad

Never seen it so bad before. How is it elsewhere ??
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

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

There's another one which offers "river cruises" has a picture of a long barge floating hotel on the front. Had dozens of the smegger. Its far, far worse than last year and that was bad.

Very very heavy, on top of this we still have network failures from before xmas,
still delivering large amount of pkts and presents. I cannot fathom where all these
failures have been hiding. I would love to know what % of xmas mails failed to
reach people in time for xmas.

We have loads of flats piled on yorks, all big thick catalogues. All from before Xmas. I left a pile of big mailsort ones behind today because there was just no way, the weight was already too much. Many of these catalogues weigh in excess of 1kg. Do you guys 739 them if they won't go through?
