Our revision started on monday, loads of people cutting off and thats with limited mail due to slow sorting. we made the front page of the west sussex gazette today which is pretty good going after just two days. will have to see how things pan out but after you have been walking for 4 hours on delivery i just hope RM have a good stock of replacement shoes!!

I've been delivering for 5 hours per day for years now, you just get used to it and as for the shoes :left: no more allowed, no money left for them :chuckle :chuckle :chuckle

Well we would be delivering for longer but we dont get out until 10am and need to make our way back by 2pm if we are to go home on time. The mail is so light at the moment because as the sorting all changed we are a bit slow on it. God knows what will happen when we get back to a normal amount of mail, it wont have a chance of being delivered. utter madness!!!! All we can hope is 'park & loop' :wave
