My office was sent home at 10.30 am but they were all told that once deliveries resume there can be no break offs or OT as time is now owed to Royal mail. Which is nice :sad:
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..........

6 - 12 inches here in Huddersfield and I did whole delivery - which although I was moaning when I was out I am glad we did as we will be finished at normal time - no hours owed.

These are all pictures taken today (despite date on pictures) from just outside my house.

I didn't even like going to my local DO on the pavements which were
like skating rinks. What if I had slipped and broken an arm or leg? :nervous
And got snowballs thrown at me on return journey by moronic teen chavs. :mad
