Makes you wonder how we are supposed to achieve that with 16kg on your back as the national average is only 3mph unladen. Soon to appear in the national press:.... Postmen/woman wanted. Vacancies nationwide. Special skills & attributes needed. Must be a cross between a Blackpool donkey & superman!!!! :crazy:

I'm quite a quick walker. I guess I would come close to 4mph. However, does it include stopping? If someone is out and you knock on the neighbours door and get no answer, and knock on the other neighbours door and get no answer, and knock on the door over road etc etc that would bring down the average speed to a crawl. How does Pegasus know how many times you stop, or how long it takes for someone to answer the door?

Not that I agree with it but those variable are covered in Pegasus/Gio-route. They are called the call rate (percentage of addresses visited) and attendance rate (percentage where customer interaction is required). There is also I believe an average of 8 seconds per address to put the mail through. These variables should be averaged out during the planning stage.

Just who agreed these all new agreed rates speeds etc?
Let me guess........the same genius who says that having an unlimited,unspecified delivery span and unlimited,unspecified D2D is all gooooooood. :cuppa
I can't wait until it spits out an unachievable delivery span and the DOM says "but the're all new and agreed so f**k you." :evil/mad
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
