letters in a box

Post by wolfie citizen smith »

Had a bit of time on my hands due to christmas pressure :shhhhh so thought i would count how many kill off letters (christmas cards) i could put end to end into a purstop (blue or grey box). I counted 250 and the box was 3/4 full, therefore i would guestimate that 300 letters can be put into one of these boxes easy and 250 letters if they were the thickness of say a council tax annual bill statement, tescos info gumf, credit card company statement with all the extras they put inside....you all get the drift...

278 i think that is/was the magic (agreed) average number. The word 'shafted' will suffice.

Mech letters are 'counted' by the computer at the MC that sorts them. The ACF currently 158 i think is the average no. of manual letters in a box. When you get get a tray full of RD books you gain when you get a tray of very thin tesco stuff you lose. That is why it is an average. Just remember 'Traffic is down' :hmmmm
