Is this just items or are bonuses points given for specials, packets etc? Or is this complicating things?

My No. 400 would whack anyone for items but got a No.33 that would fight anyone with Specials n packets.

In the old days of 48 box pigeon hole fittings we used to play 'full house' on sorting - whoever got a letter (correctly) in all 48 boxes won.

You know the managers do that body watching thing. You can make the day more interesting by watching them, over a few months it like following a soap on TV.

I dont suppose anyone is interested but todays match was a bit drab. It was a light tuesday and 79 King Street opened up with two early letters. They then pressed home their advantage with a flat later on. 17 Quay Terrace didnt even have the quality or nouse to reply so it ended 3-0 to 79 King Street. No surprises today then but tomorrow sees 8 King Street versus 2 Lemon Place which could go either way. Im not gonna put my head on the block and make a prediction, that would be just mad.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I will put out a few feelers on a sort of champions league. We could call the qualifiers the ones who win their own office league. They would then go onto the next round which for example would be competing against the champion address of a neighbouring office. The next stage would be to play against an address in the next county to you which in my case is cornwall or somerset. May look towards somerset as those cornish lot are a bit strange. It would take a lot of organising but the end result would be a champion address for the uk. We would then obviously look to europe to compete against their best addresses. The opportunities to expand this amazing game are endless. Perhaps Adam Crozier could put a cash incentive up to the winning address?

What about multi-occupancy address points ? Do they count as one address or as one for each flat. If so, I've got a block here that see off all comers.
Just spilt stain-remover down my shirt. Now how do I get that out?
