But HCT users do not have pouches to deliver from any more, because this is against delivery methods protocol. ;liar

On my way to work once, I was asked by a passerby if I could get him a RM delivery pouch. He said he wanted one for his son who was playing a postie in his school play. I told him the public weren't allowed to have RM uniform or equipment as they could be used by criminals to pose as RM staff to gain entry to premises.
You do see some cycle couriers in London using RM pouches. My former manager said he would stop them and demand they hand them over to him. I don't know how successful he was though. :Very Happy

It's good to know RM provide us with delivery pouches which are seen as highly fashionable (at least in Asia and maybe some other parts of the world).
Just a shame they give us these trendy pouches which also soak up rain and ruin the mail :doh

Asked the dom as ours are 3 years old nearly, the clasps have broken, pockets torn, he said there's no chance of any new ones. I suppose he's right , we have to grovel for laggy bands.

That's crap. They are freely available. What part of the country are you in?
