Mail volumes are down its true its in the Courier so it must be true.

are those people in the courier real and if so do they really work for the royal mail?

No,they are a result of Thatcher's push towards "care in the community" in the 1980's.
At one point our mental institutions were full of people thinking they were Napoleon.
Now these fake D.O.s are populated by people who think they are Royal Mail employees....it's a form of very low self-esteem.
It's all very sad really.

Our local delivery office (not where we work) had the dubious honour of appearing in the Courier ,I tackled one of the lads about the bull printed and it was exactly that,bull.

Mail through the roof all this week.
Historically from now on ,the level of mail will increase substantially. Should be interesting, as we can't cope now.

My office has failed every day this week, there's not enough people to get the sorting done there's just too much work.

Mail volumes are dropping because of the Royal Mails figures.
A grey letter box on average holds 150 letters (there figures) but actually hold more like 250 letters, do a count in your own office.

I don't care about the mail being heavy, it's the f*cking packets that kill me. I'm thinking of chucking them in a separate bag and leaving them until I've done all the mail, then just popping along the route in the car and getting them all done.

It's a great idea gb ...why not take your bags out yourself while your at it? ....and throw your D2D in the boot so you can make it up while you're watching Corrie. Actually it'll save even more time if you just bin the D2D.
It makes the job so much easier...and let's face it that's all that matters.

Twas a bit of sarcasm Fish aimed at the posters on here who think people who use POV are the scourge of the earth.
Yet an idea which puts an end to that (CDV) gets lamblasted by the very same people for very spurious reasons
Not every change has to be feared or resisted, it isn't exactly perfect now is it .

[fishtank]

It might surprise you to know this gb but i actually like the idea of CDV's,two in a van and park&loop.
I've carried a bag long enough,my knees are shot and i'm not getting any younger.
I do,however fear the longer delivery spans and half-assed implementation that comes with it.
