None of our park and loops finished today, let alone finished early.

Why would you finish early? I finished bang on my time (again) because I did my share of D2Ds and then I did my weekly van check.

There should be NO lapsing. As far as I know when Georoute is setup it runs on the heaviest day in the lightest week. That alone should take care of ANY lapsing that should be done. As previously stated if you're doing your checks; starting on time and doing the job properly then spare time should be a thing of the past. If however people are silly enough to rush around; doorstep stuff and get back xx minutes early then of course managers are going to try and utilise any spare time people have :d'oh!

Yeah well put dave 7634 thats exactly what i keep trying to tell staff at our office but will they listen, well an handful more than last time when duties where made bigger in 2007 and collapsing of duties, only yesterday was our d.o.m down in yard waiting for vans to come in, questioning, we got back on time but could bareley get in for parked up vans they're not taking any meal relief and like you said rush,rush,rush playing into their hands, when will they learn.

It's not set up on the heaviest day, it's average day on the lightest traffic weeks.

Some mugs at our office came back early and were sent out to help others who were struggling. Thick as pig s**t!
