Last week I was met by about 30 Gurkas charging down the middle of the road in full battle gear :shock:
I think even the police have to follow you back to the office yard before they can start a search, unless they have a warrant. :Very Happy
Many years back, when we had nights, the driver going in to Manchester was followed by the cops. They wanted him to stop, but he carried on until he got where he was going. They couldn't do a thing. :nana

Not too bad on the letters but got hammered with packets, 3 sacks. Apparently they failed big time on them yesterday so we paid the price today :roll:

Tuesday, quieter than Monday, good job with an hour less to play with.
Different story Wednesday. Much busier. More flats and we caught up with the packets after 2 quiet days for them. Rep went off with the DOM some place for a meeting regarding the impending changes. Hopefully we may start to hear something of the plans soon.

Massive amounts of parcels today (friday), it's almost as if they were all held up somewhere. Monday/Tuesday I had hardly any..
