Re: where is all the mail?
We had an extra delivery of yorks (full of packets - all shapes and sizes) as we were on our way out of the DO today ... not looking good at all for tomorrow at that rate!

Have top admit flats are light though,but letters through the roof so lighter bag as packets are being done by drivers.

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.

So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat

Re: where is all the mail?
Worked over my time again today, as I did yesterday (day off Monday but I believe it was very busy too). And just before any thinks it - I'm fast at prepping and fairly quick on my feet when delivering but I'm not a runner nor do I work through my break etc..
Either some people are on easy walks or they deliver to "certain areas" that don't get much Christmas mail.. I can see this Christmas being profitable for me if the volume of mail stays as it has been this week!!!

Have to agree with the heading, not so busy yet and with all the panic measures put in place and the 20 extra casual staff it's not been too bad, so far.

Re: where is all the mail?
Done my first pressure overtime for a long time on Tuesday and Wednesday this week, normally I would cut off, but guess I'm just an ol softie deep down !
Day off today and still no delivery and I am the first call on a rural dely, so I think it must be a tad busier again today !

Re: where is all the mail?
It's the same every year (at least it has been for the last 13 xmases in my DO). There are plenty of cards and packets, but a lot of the garbage stops and there are very few large flats.underpaidoverwalked wrote:if this is the christmas pressure period then I WISH IT COULD BE CHRISTMAS EVERY DAY.never been finished so early since LAST CHRISTMAS.so thank you royal mail management for the quite times WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS but bet you shaft us again in the new year.anyway where is the mail or has summer came early
Also there's no missort run so we get out earlier, which is mainly why xmas has always been the time of year when I get finished earlier than any other.

Packets done by drivers. Our drivers throw out all they can get away with and then try to stitch eachother up.POSTMAN wrote:We had a york of walk sorted come down on the 12'oclock,looks nasty tomorrow.
