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

If they went back to using the old bands that were stronger perhaps postmen would be more enclined to keep hold of them. The red ones are so shite, one use and they are pretty unfit for purpose after that! :arrrghhh

I also have holes in all my delivery bags so if I forget and put any bands in them they tend to drop out the bottom! :hmmmm

Maybe the youngsters could turn their attention to dog muck which is a far greater hazard on many streets. :Very Happy

Red elastic band, luxury. We are not allowed any new bands to save money. We have to collect up any bands used by customers to send their mail to the mail centre. Im not making it up, all we've got are these thin stringy weak bands. World class mail.
