Post by johnnyp »

I hope you all got done nice and early so you could get home with your family.
I was round the mother in laws at about 18.00 and a postie was out on delivery on there street :shock:
Did anyone finish later then that on a walk?

I had that yesterday, 6 specials and 14 recorded, but today was like a usual Thursday. Finished at 12.00 (official finish time 12.30). Most of the full timers would have been done about then as well. Loads of mail sort and DSA, only a few Xmas cards but loads of packets. Office was cleared as well,so hats off to the packet guys, at least we did our best.

All deliveries cancelled in Exeter due to the ice on the pavements. Only completed half of the round the day before for the same reason! Can't wait for Tuesday's delivery....not! :d'oh!

Seems the south west got hit hard today_

THE Royal Mail has revealed Christmas Eve deliveries have been disrupted by the icy conditions after it was alleged all services out of the Taunton Delivery Office had been cancelled.

The County Gazette received reports that workers at the Taunton depot had refused to go out in the ice, leading to all services being scrapped.

It was also alleged that staff had agreed to work extra hours on Tuesday to make up for it – four days after Christmas.

But a Royal Mail spokesman said staff from the delivery office were “attempting” deliveries today “where possible” and said the office would remain open until 5pm so customers with suitable proof of ID could collect items themselves.

2.15, with no break. Then got half blamed for missing Special N/A post office manager put into normal bag without checking it.
I specifically asked if there was a Special, to which he replied no...

Well, perhaps someone should have stayed at home when the postie first attempted delivery if it's that important!

Got finished at 3.30pm. Got out the door at 9.00am. Had 9 specials and a s**t load of packets. Went everywhere but had to leave van in some places and walk a mile or so to reach the customer. Some hadnt had mail for the past 4 days and I felt they should get some on xmas eve. Very tiring and my hats are off to the townies across the UK who had to struggle round on foot in crap conditions :Applause

Hope you all are a having a good xmas :Very Happy
