I'm starting to think I cocked up by doing the entire frame..
So have you got a really small walk or did you have just the 1 lot of D2D's?

day. SIMPLE
And where did you get this agreement?Can you show us it?

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.

Well, we (me and the postie I was shadowing) had 4 bags. He said normally there's a bit more, just it's a light day or something.. I prepared the D2D's in my last half an hour when I returned. Obviously I screwed that bit up..

So you deliver your door to doors with your letters, together, one after the other, at the same time. . . how is that delivering them separately?

Some people call 'prepping' them putting the two smaller ones inside the larger one, something we aren't supposed to do. Personally I don't do that, but I do throw them up into my frame, and bundle them with the mail. I find it much easier that way, than delving around in my bag at every door.

I think when it says deliver D2D items "seperately it means that you don't put them inside each other when delivering them through the letterbox!
