Found this in the loft the other day. Was this an idea from RM. If the office was small in 1971 what would he make of it now :crazy: :crazy:

Did not one of the major franchises attempt to deliver packets alongside their usual delivery of milk etc? Gave it up as it did not pay, much to the disappointment of Postcomm who granted the licence initially expecting it to lead to greater things.

I remember that little experiment! The milkman on my delivery used to throw the packets at the front door from the front gate if he didn't have to deliver the milk there. No wonder it didn't last long.

I remember the milkman doing some packets a few years back, was it not Amazon ?? cant rem for sure. But what i can rem is him door stepping the lot in the pouring rain with no intention of taking them back to the depot or ever attempting a second delivery try :left:
