We have 1 at 4 days with bits on it not being delivered to for a week ,and lots of others at 2 days, how does this compare
to others.

9 days when it snowed. We were only kept in for 3 days, but that walk is normally collapsed or done on OT so it didn't go out for another week as nobody wanted it.

It does seem to have gone to hell from Christmas, I've never known duties not to go out but now it seems to be the norm (even more common is parts of walks not going out), I wonder how RM is going to explain it the Postconn

Shouldn't walks be rotated so if it doesn't go out one day then it WILL the next?

Not our problem i don't think i'd take kindly to being shoved on another walk i know what time i can finish so if i went on a heavier
walk then i'd be cutting off not quite what they want is it :whistle

My rural hasn't gone out for 3 days because I was moved off it to cover a town centre delivery because the walk holder was off sick. Frame is rammed full, dozens of boxes of D2D under the frame, 4 yorks of packets and tracked next to it and god knows how many trays of letters. Luckly I am off next week :nana
