Walkers don't have to wear them when out on delivery in Hudds- only drivers do. Although I do wear my stormproof or hi-viz when the weathers bad enough.

If you want to be picky he's not even wearing a royal mail jacket or hat and he doesn't have a bag or trolley and he's left-handed. :whistle

Well he looks quite tall compared to the car, so perhaps he couldn't get uniform to fit.

So basically this is a picture of someone who has stolen some mail in Huddersfield.(A left handed someone)
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Lots of catalogues yet to clear, atrocious conditions underfoot, and have had more snow this evening.

Any semblance of H&S or risk assessment is being ignored by those who's job it is to make sure such standards are adhered to. :cuppa

Suppose we will have to wait until the first serious injury for the headless H&S chickens to start running

Busy the last few days. New Years eve was bad. First day back, 2nd Jan was a good 1. Since then it's been heavy, apart from today. Problem we've had today and by the looks of it the rest of the week is snow. Loads of it, never seen anything like it in my life. Dom told us to make our own decision regarding what we took, giving us the chance to leave what we deemed dangerous to reach etc.
