Re: Agreed speed for walking
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!!!!

Re: Agreed speed for walking
You can never average 4 mph its madness. On a really good day ive ave 2.5 mph but take a day like today with lots of packets and sign for's and its down to 1.6 mph 
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: Agreed speed for walking
children settle down,walk speeds,prep rates etc will be placed before the members before a vote is taken ,then the
decision shall be up to the individual from that point to say yes or no,is that so difficult to do.

Re: Agreed speed for walking
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?

Re: Agreed speed for walking
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.NewPostieUK wrote:I'm quite a quick walker.

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.
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."
good times, bad times you know I've had my share
