Ridiculously light on mail and non-existent in terms of parcels. I had two for my entire walk - neither was especially large.

RE: the last 4 posts.
Very light.
Ridiculously light.
Quite a light day again.
Easier than yesterday.

Can we stop this now. The correct posts should read - me bags was heavin'. Anyone who says mail figures are fallin' is talkin' crap.

Otherwise, don't blame me if Tman and Nightie join in this thread.

Well, in fairness, despite my assertion that it was light today, I still had four pouches, and they weren't exactly mega-light, although I never 'over-pack' my bags. So probably about 45kgs worth of mail today - and this on probably the lightest day of the week in our office. Come Wednesday and Thursday it'll be twice that. Tomorrow will probably be about 50kgs.

I think when we say that the mail is easier what we really mean is the mail is at a level that we can complete in our time without going at full speed for 5 hours :nervous

Worse than yesterday. Also got lost on the way back to the office, trying to take a shortcut. Turns out it was a shortcut, I was just too stupid to realise and kept going once I got to where I needed to be. Before long I was where I didn't need to be, and I'm such a mediocre postman that I had no idea where that was. Moral of the story ... I'm off tomorrow, so who cares?
