90 Flats???? 43 houses per flat equals 3870 drops alone. Do you mean you have maisonettes, 6 houses per block?? if so that equals 540 drops so thats pretty much your walk done in no time as there are no gardens or long pathways/obstacles in your way. Your walks a doddle and you know it is so stop the whining eh!!!

Re: Have you got a bastard of a walk ?
Mines 805 drops, mostly terraced houses though so no gates or drives, but full off studants so usually have 2 to 3 packet bags a day, and the fookers are never in, or if they are they are suffering from sticky matress syndrome because they can't get out of bed until gone teatime . Some very nice young ladies though so that brightens the day up
