Buses sometimes disturb you because some of the drivers are killers and the other problem is the dogs.

I have 150 registered and 20 normal letters on my delivery today. When I asked senior colleagues about the number of letters they used to deliver years ago they said they used to take out around 300 letters a day. Nowadays I deliver only about 80 letters a day. You do notice the decline in numbers

mails down

we take out so much more than these people yet our jobs are at risk ?

what a joke country we live in
