Same here: me and another postie on a neighbouring walk met at the Post Office at 15.15 to hand in our missort pouches. I got out on time today, but it has still seemed to take a long time to complete. So - you're definitely not alone. :cuppa

I got back from my delivery after some of my colleagues got back from their SA collection O/T - 'nuff said, I think
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

Good day today, it was my day off :nana
Not looking forward to tomorrow, out in the sticks by myself..........'I maybe some time' :confused :confused
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

Wow that all your walk? :cuppa How long does that take you and how many delivery points? I would say most frames if not all in our office are half the size.

I was trying to count the sections on JPs frame and I think its 1 x 8 for the top row and 3 x 9 for the next 3 rows. so 35 rows

My own frame is 4 x 8 = 24 sections for 600 drops (Some are doubled up).

So if his spread is roughly the same as mine - thats 875 dp - :shock: :shock: :crazy:

Yes you are,if you work to your time it makes life difficult for your line manager,but then he does'nt give a tos when he gives you more ips than should be on your duty.
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

But you have to take into consideration that the frame size doesn't always indicate how busy it is: I know someone who has a double frame, but the amount of mail for the corresponding geographical area is the same most days as for a single walk - sometimes he get 'blips', but otherwise: just like a single-frame walk! :Very Happy
