just keep telling yourself that when you are doin your lapsing and im sat at home at 1 with 2 hours docket booked.

I think that was what he wanted to say ....but obviously he has spent so much time keeping his office strong he hasn't had time to learn to use the quote function properly.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Can't see what difference it makes with D2D's, whether they are inside or out,
if everyone is like my family, they are just bin fodder!!

The companies think that if they land on the matt in one mass then they will be scooped up and chucked in the bin all together without being looked at. However most bundles explode through the box anyway and spread.

The truth is only a limited number of people will respond to a leaflet through the box as most are not daft and will do internet research before buying windows or having guttering replaced. I am not so sure about pizza and and lawn care products but its unlikley they will get more than a second glance before hitting the bin if the folks are not interested.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

The problem is krussel...none of this matters to us.
If the customer wants them separated,no matter how daft it seems....that's what they get.
And if Royal Mail tells us to separate them...that's what we do.
If it takes more time...all the better.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Only Royal Mail management could spend millions (that they dont have) on new walk sequencing machines to save us posties time??...... and then they decide we can do up to six lots of of door to door items a week, collating them all by hand!!! W...ERS!!!

It takes more time to put them inside each other than just straight in the frame though.

you dont need to put D2Ds in frame. just make the bundles smaller and put the D2Ds behind the bundle when out delivering. simples

Not according to the guidelines...
Note: D2D items should not be merged with other mails at the doorstep

Ft is right. Years ago maybe around 1998 I can remember a high up manager coming into the d.o seeing the 3 d2ds inside each other and wanting them individually slotted as this was the guidlines. Wether it was enforced or we carried it out, I can't recall.

'at the back'
wheres that in a double slot?
Aren't we supposed to be moving towards single slot frames for all?
we'llhave to have single slots just to fit the d2d in

Then how do you know where you've delivered them to the next day?

If you are doing the 1/6th of a day his method, though outside the guideline, would be a good solution to that particular problem. If you go only go where you are going the that would be a problem.
