Nice and steady today
Dare I say it the 'mail' does seem to be lower than normal, but on the other hand packets and large flats are getting worse

I was thinking the same thing, mail levels must be falling!fothsn wrote:Nice and steady todayDare I say it the 'mail' does seem to be lower than normal, but on the other hand packets and large flats are getting worse
I wonder if the mail traffic figures that are collated at the Mail Centers back this up?

Effing cold, wet, cold and wet
The weather went from sunny to sleet to snow to rain then just back to the beginning again so I spent the whole day freezing 
Anyway, the mail wasn't too bad so I got finished just about on time but it took me about an hour to thaw out.

The week hasn't been too bad, except for today which was about the usual finish time around lunchtime. Packets were not too bad for most of the week.

Re: its been a great day
I used a kill off sticker for a 'No Access' today for the first time. Do you just check the box, or do you add an explanation, ie building work?disgruntledpostie1 wrote:How the mighty pharse 'NO ACCESS' works to our advantage.

For the regulars with own walks.
Do you think the workload had dropped and get easier since New Year ? I mean numbers of posts.

Another light day, all of my bus were finished by 12.30. Virtually no DSA stuff today, mainly items with STAMPS on 
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
Illegitimi non carborundum

Goning through a quieter spell in my office. Hardly any packets. Cleared the last,(for now) of my National Trust mags today.

Re: The "How was your day" thread.
The packets in my office are just the same but I've notice a slight drop off in mail (only taking out 7 bags as opposed to the 10 it was)

Wonderful, but that may be down to the fact that I am on holiday this week and have just got up.

Same here as i am now off for the rest of the week,
which kept me going through the rain 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........
