So instead of one person sitting waiting for their slow colleague, it will be one person sitting waiting for their slower colleague, and then when that colleague shows up they will both sit and wait for the slowest colleague?

And if it’s a round full of loops with long drives, cut throughs, flats so you don’t have a clue where your partner....sorry partners are, what then?

I mean if only we all carried some kind of digital device as part of our job that could be utilised to pinpoint our colleagues. And no, I don’t mean a mobile phone.
The day is gonna come when we’re all gonna have to testify.

I heard a rumor that they are investing in Bajaj Auto the rickshaw...
They really do look like fun! Do they need a postie to test these out in India? Sign me up! Have passport; will travel.

Tiny wheels so they'll ride the bumps up and down a lot and have a very jarring ride. And only 24 mph ish top speed - only good around town, city, and backstreets - not good for ring roads etc. Otherwise they could work for singletons.

The first fundamental problem before anything else is most of the Royal Mail fleet simply cannot accommodate 3 rounds.
My Peugeot can only just fit my round in most days - definitely not 2 - and 3 would be impossible… unless they want me to strap it all the roof ?

(Now there’s a good idea) :management … :crazy:

We have some electric Mercedes with 3 seats that could possibly accommodate 3 jobs in the back but it would be a right mess with parcels. The two passengers have to sit very close together, how lovely will that be when its boiling hot and even better when its pissing down :shock:
