Hateful dogs usually with the most stupid owners (I hate the way they stay quiet until they are right on top of you)

Erm, isn't that a Boxer ?.

Each time i have had a dog come at me i have rammed their mail down it's throat, seems to work .

130KG... Imagine if I stuck to the 16KG limit's on the trolley... That would be a hell of a lot of bags dropped off

It's not a case of doing everything to the book... It's more meet each other half way...

Same type of day as yesterday, only lighter with more parcel, again walked the entire way, I also cleared because I is a greedy git. But on that note a few people got took in the office because according to the managers (we had 3 in a small office of 70odd, will be five next week.) They ain't throwing off fast enough, which is daft because their are worst sorters then they are, its just that they cut off at least once every week.

Also Geo route has now been looked at, and surprise surprise most the walks in office is over, one round in particular which is the same but a row and a bit is added on, the manager even stated that if you use the car it would be over but with a bike its just right, I quickly said that I have done the round as it stands and its timed over now, he replied well you walk it, you don't use a bike, so I ask, do I fly their then, by this time he went back into the office, grrr managers if they had a brain cell it be singing all by itself and prob commit sucide for fear of lonliness

It was a fairly heavy day round my way and would have got done in time, but 1/2 way round and at the furthest point from the "facilities" I needed the toilet real bad - 15mins walk there 10 minutes back - think they will let me claim docket.

oh

and failed 7 special this week also. Made them aware i woulnt arrive before 1 for certain streets, and no transport made others fail. Seems to have happened at same time as longs/shorts.

Was told that nobody was available to deliver them so deliver them late. No probs

Not good!!!

Normally most rounds I cant complain about but the particular round I am doing this week is hard work even on a Tuesday. God knows about the rest of the week. This round is by far a longer delivery than the three and a half hours stated in the "rules". Oh well onto the next day.

Would have been really easy but for all the election papers coming through the office. What gets me about the longs/shorts is that no matter what RM want, its not what they always get. They can't/ wouldn't tell the customers that they didn't want the business because the staff are having an early flirt today now would they? In the long run, I just can't see the longs/shorts working out myself.
