Welcome to RMC walkholder hope you like the site. I started just as SDD was being implemented so I don't know anything before that but for me SDD is now the "Good Old Days" - sad ain't it.

We the postmen have ruined the job be not doing the job as it should be done i,e, starting early,dashing around looking for the early dart or finish this is fact and when the union sold us for 30 piecies of silver that was the end for all of us now we as a unit need to do sometime or there will be nothing left only memories of the way we where .
