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:
Its not that big Teebs mate :Very Happy There are 40 boxes altogether :shock: Not to sure on the delivery points at the moment :hmmmm Ithink its over 500,but check those redirections mate :shock: I will have a count up next week.

Another day with heavy showers, ended up cutting off the last 20 drops as the SPDO locks up at 1pm, at least I did'nt get lost :shock:
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

Don't worry they had 3 drivers in on my delivery Yesterday doing light bulbs and smoke alarms - hardly made a dent though.

Today was not bad mail wise but did not take many D2Ds, and I know I'll pay for that later on this week. Had to visit the toilet on my walk a few times :oops: and was even sick, got blisters from new shoes and shoulder aches after a slight stumble.

I am getting old and feeling it - still tomorrow is another day and now 1 day closer to next holiday. :Very Happy

Get well soon from all at RM. Try taking honey in a hot drink :cuppa of tea, coffee or milk, etc. It kills all germs dead. The more you take, the quicker you will recover. Take as much as you can. For flu, I normally take half a jar (for some people, that may be excessive) and mix it well with milk or with lemonade and then down it in one go. After a few hours, I'm back to normal: the flu has gone! Always works!

See:

http://www.islamicity.com/MOSQUE/ARABIC ... /16_69.htm

Get well soon. Take care. :wink:

Well, regarding the smoke alarms - what with the drivers' joints working so much in the week, they could use a few of those alarms strapped to their bodies, so when they instantaneously combust from the excessive wear and tear, people nearby will be able to jump on them, to put out the flames. Regarding the toilet: I have had a mysterious bug which has made whatever goes into my mouth come quickly out of the other end and it all seems to have a correlation with that hand made scone I ate at the canteen the other day (I never eat in the canteen, but I needed change for the coffee machine).

Take it easy with the shoulder and get well soon.
