First couple of weeks are normally brutal whilst your getting used to the pysical strain so if you enjoy it hang in ther it will get easier on that side of things. With driving would be worth asking around see how your drivers are treated before you go down that route. Once you have done that RM test they can put you on driving jobs when ever they want so worth finding out if its any good first! Your break is your break doesnt matter what time you finish. And if you are finishing later then your time badger your line manager as they should pay you. And yes if your on 5 hours a day you are expected to tie up yourself and do a delivery! Welcome to Royal Mail bet you will be back soon complaining how rubbish it is! :Very Happy

not a driving test really.. its basically a risk assessment of your driving, normally done by the AA for RM... its simple stuff really... just a drive around your area.. with them watching your driving style... wether you get to close to other cars, whether you can reverse round a corner etc...

its pretty hard to fail... since the assessor normally tells you if you are doing something wrong and watches to see if you correct yourself after being told...

You actually have to make the effort to type like that don't you.
Why would you?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.
