About 0945 was the earliest. We don't even get our last arrivals from the MC until 07:30 (if we are lucky).

"Right of way" was bellowed at 0900 this morning, I was ready to go at ~0915 (only because I helped out a relatively late start PTer catch up with the rest of us for ~45 minutes). Easily the earliest I've been ready or anyone in office has been allowed to go Mon-Fri this month.

Saturdays are slightly different though, when you go when you are ready, by and large. Been delivering first letter at ~0830, 30 minutes later than outside the pressure period.

Theory today was "out at 0800" - got out at 0940 - and I wasn't the last ...

Mostly 1030-1100 throughout December. On Christmas Eve night sorters got laid on the so when we came in there was no IPS to do, was also told to go when ready so people got out delivering from 0700 onwards, I did my first letter at 0900 and was done by 1200.
