Somewhere between 450 and 500 - can't actually recall as I'm on it, off it, on, off etc!
It's got too many people with too much money, a number of long(ish) drives, so even a quiet day it takes 3.5hours.. No matter what I do or how I do it I can't make any time on it.

My old round had 511 then 509 then 512 according to the D2D report. The one I do now I deliver only on a monday so I don't do the D2Ds for it. This new one's quite a nice round though, all flat just a bit heavy at times and old people's flats that smell a little bit <coff>
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

It is not how many but how long the delivery take's we could have a one fit's all approach to do this as royalmail wants it is an individual thing and as such this topic and poll i find is a catalyst for berating postal workers by management!. AS SUCH I WILL NOT VOTE but still i have had my say!.

628 calls.

28 blocks of 3 storey flats.

3 residential homes.

The rest houses, some with gates, some without.

Can knock it out in 2 hours 30 if I get my skates on.

Shirt is usually dripping by the time I finish, winter or otherwise.
