Travelling Distance

Post by Exorcist »

Good Afternoon Gents,
I am starting a new round next monday and i have just worked out that it is just under a 3 mile cycle ride to get to the first delivery address.At the moment we are lapsing as well so before my own round i have to cycle 1 mile in the opposite direction to deliver my lapsed mail,if i add the return journey then it means i have almost 4 miles to cycle to my round.
Is this the norm within Royal Mail or are the management at my office extracting the urine ??.

We still use bikes and there GGGGGREATTTTTT. If you feel that you will go over your time because of lapsing , explain to your lino the reason why and that if you go over your duty time you will cut off or book ot .But always ask him :Very Happy
