No...because i only did half of it. :chuckle
...but you're right...doing the stupid baby steps on ice or dragging your legs through two feet of snow is not too good on the joints.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Customers are asking "Where's my packet or parcel, i've been waiting 2 weeks for it now"? My ears are ringing and the snow on the side streets are still to be cleared, making it tricky conditions to work in.

All i know about the packets or parcels is that they are getting kept in a warehouse in bathgate! Oh and there are 180 yorks waiting for dunfermline...merry xmas!

Are you guys doing Sunday deliveries/packets to help clear backlog? i hear half the offices in Fife have been asked to come down there to help out!

Not sure which offices will be helping out...all i know is not many people in our office are helping out this xmas...everyone has had enough of the snow, the backlog of mail, and to top it off the dom stating that he doesn't think some posties are going that extra mile.

I've worked o/t every xmas since i started royal mail (11 years ago) and this year morale in the office and everything else on top of it has put alot of people off doing o/t.
