Re: Easiet day ever!
There was virtually no packets (only half a bag as opposed to the normal 3) and the firms delivery was light but the rest of it was really bad, I took out about the same as Monday, but more than Tuesday, slightly less than yesterday
BTW the managers had all gone home by the time I arrived back at the office

Re: Easiet day ever!
Fairly similar for me today - Sky mags ( MS2 & MS3 ) through the week, and not many packets, but silly amounts of flats and catalogues through the week have kept the weight above average most days......I doubt any screws will miss the chance to keep it up on Mondaytragictramp wrote:we had no coded mail, but loadsa flats and had to take all the sky mags in 1 hit, i had about 3 packets for the whole delivery tho lol, i finished half hr earlier than normal.
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?
Mail delivery; those that can, do, those that can't, MANAGE!

We're quite close to you SJ and we had the same first thing, nothing except sky mags and magazines etc. Then the lorry turned up 45 minutes late at 0745 and WE WERE BLOODY SLAUGHTERED! DOM said everything had to go as it was a normal day, fair enough, but do they really think they need to keep giving us reasons to strike. (Before the trolls start, most times we can usually work out a compromise and spread the workload over 2 days, avoiding overtime payments or cut-offs)
