That's what OPALS are for - they don't have to be fast but it would certainly help and familiarity breeds speed.
When I first started on IPS, I asked if I could take an OPAL home so I could practice sorting in my own time, so I could get up to speed quicker.
I also made a tape of which street was on which round so I could listen to it in my sleep. That is a proven method of speed learning.
I'm surprised more people don't think like that.
Was the OPAL to go above your own personal RM2000 frame from back in the day when you were the Glaswegian D2D baron?
And what's a "tape"?

and where were the rest of your f/t staff? seems as though you are forgeting that f/t staff can and indeed are paid to help you. I agrree with pinstripe if p/t staff come in early and do work f/t staff are meant to be doing then we are all f**ked, so next time you need help cowdenpostie feel free to get hacked off at f/t staff because officially they should be alongside you
