Worst day ever - if I hadn't culled a row I would have been out until 18:00.
Do any of you remember a few years back when the Halifax share issue was hailed as Royal Mails greatest logistical challenge and success, now we are doing stuff like that every bloody day with fewer staff and no one seems to think it makes any difference.
And why do the power companies keep issuing low power light bulbs with 10 year lifespans to customers - it won't be long before everyone has a garage full 'cos they don't burn out. They have come down from an original retail price of around £8 fourteen years ago to around 50p in some supermarkets and are rapidly becoming a real planet killer in terms of mercury pollution and packaging waste - not to mention our distribution costs - the novelty has worn off now - start giving away something else !!!

There are no words invented to describe how s**t today was.
So I will not bother....
Next week the Manager can go to hell.
And Rhino, spot on!

On my hols next week so I did a deal with one of the guys and only did 2/3 of my walk - still did not get done till 11.00 and on a usual Saturday its 11:15 - wonder what time it would have been otherwise. Heavy on packets and got 2 bulbs done to keep my holiday cover happy.
Hope next week is quiet for you lot, but not to quite or the will lapse you.
