ment a non p&l revision, they seem to have given up on that one. took multiple planners and probably thousands of man hours to work out that theres not enough space for the vans! :d'oh!

honestly think it will be a small amount added. then prob more lapsing down the line! our dom is a crafty one but hes already enraged our rep so will be slowly screwed me thinks! whats sad is 95% of my DO just puts up with summer lapsing so its their own fault!

Our very DIM DOM has to be the laziest, inept, nastiest, piece of work yet. As a result of such a charmless nerk lording it over us, every feckin' day is like purgatory.
Why Royal Mail feel it's necessary to inflict these Dinosaurs from a bygone age on us, God alone knows.
But I'll tell you one thing that is sure and certain, it costs Royal Mail big time, believe me.
And all for the want of some respect, fair play, and the sort of dignity postal workers enjoyed not so long ago.
Still, suppose it means less money for shyte like revisions, so every cloud and all that, eh? :cuppa

Day off today, woke up at 04.30 and couldn't get back to sleep....FFS
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

In the strictest of terms, today was my last day off. I've spent most of the week out biking. Seen a few posties from my office out and about, but seeing as they didn't know me I blended in, gave them as much abuse as possible, and was on my way :wink:. Seriously though, did 18 miles on the bike on Thursday and 23 miles yesterday. Gave it a break today, will probably go for another 15 or so tomorrow. Have enjoyed the week off, but am not really dreading going back. It'll be alright.

when will they learn !!!
Well, if they're anywhere as DIM as West London DOMs, they will never learn, and only carry on making the same mistakes over, and over, and over again. Then, just for good measure they will keep banging away trying to hammer that square peg into the round hole. w*****s.

A really light day mail wise and even packets. Bit heavy on the reg/rec's with 14 in total but thats tue's. :roll:

Just too hot today though and dispite drinking loads of water i still felt crap towards the end of the delivery. Finished by 1pm which is good for me. Came in and had a nice cool bath which made me feel better.

The air has cooled down now and iam in the summer house on the lappy with a cold Bud :nana
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..........

Busy yesterday. Plenty of packets and DSA. Absolutely scorching day. Gaffer had a spare bod today so he culled the walk. Much cooler and even got a spot of rain.

Lightest day I can remember. Probably only a 60% call rate. Compensated for by the usual Tuesday tsunami of recordeds (17 today :evil/mad )

This is deja vu really.

Not working today. Had to go and get my wifes car ; with a bill of £160... and then petrol needed.

But I went for a pint (and only a pint as I was driving) and put my change into the fruit machine.

Rsult .... £140

Case closed
