730 on mine and that's one of the lowest in the office.
Me, 529 pre-revison. Highest in office mid 700's lowest mid 400's (Union rep! :whistle )

607 .. plus one "official" business ...

Includes about 9 dogs (three highly dodgy) ... two "catalogue freaks" (every catalogue ever issued - they get 'em - strange, but they both live at house number 9 on separate streets !) ... at least four "home businesses" (loadsa sign-for packets) ... two "EBay addicts" that are next door to each other - and are (95%) never in (can take 10+ minutes doing the P739s sometimes - I do one P739 for each separate packet - is that right ??) which of course means carrying undelivered packets around for 2+ hours ... several "1pm special" regulars (some that involve a lot of dead walking to make the time - although obviously not at this moment in time), four pouch boxes that work and two that don't (despite repeated pleadings to lino to fix) so more dead walking to pick up bags crammed into working boxes ... and I reckon about 500 Sky Mags every month (one month I WILL count them - just to put my mind at rest !) ... hills - I've got a few (which of course involve steps up to doors) ... two firm offers of a cuppa (one of which is the fourth house on the walk - so obviously never taken up !) ... no official "toilet options" (although there is one "discreet" option and one "not so discreet" option which has been used several times during this cold snap :shock: ) ... and a lapse (fortunately cancelled over the Christmas period though) ...

... and my lino reckons it's an easy walk (as I've said to him, "I bet you say that to ALL the boys" :chuckle )
"We're under model" - oh no we're not - stick your lapse elsewhere ...

The new 739s have a number of items column so you can just write in a number. Personally, even on the old system, I band them together before giving them in at the caller's office so that it's pretty obvious. I certainly wouldn't write out a million 739s!

Ditto - on the older ones I used to write the number of each type in the box provided, and then in the "Because" box indicate how many items total.
