£10 so far, not too bad seeing as I've only been on the walk for just over four months.

So far:
£16 million in cash
42 crates of champagne
20 boxes of chocolates.
And the landlord of the pub I deliver to has signed over the pub to me. Have already applied for my liquorice licence.

I think the credit crunch is hitting a lot of my customers and I don't anticipate doing as well as last year.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Trouble we've got is they've messed the office about so badly that quite a few cycle duties don't have a regular postie! They're just delivered by what ever name the DIM pulls out of a had when he's planning next weeks duties :crazy: A customer asked me today who his postie was as he usually gives them a Christmas Box. I told him best bet was drop a box of choccies off at the office :shock: They even managed to f**k up everyones tips along with everything else :arrrghhh

Fifteen quid and a box of choccies so far. Ten quid of that was from a customer on my old duty who handed it to their current postie, and I don't anticipate getting much more as the duty I am currently on is full of work-dodging, gate-tying, dog-imitating, night-walking, morning-avoiding wastes of skin.
