Pissed down from the moment i set foot out of the door this morning until i got back home. Absolutely hammered with mail and packets, pouched off a lot of packets, went over my time a good while, o/t on the sheet tomorrow. Feel like going to bed now, think im in for a dose of the dreaded lurgy.

Holy s**t never seen so much rain these 'water proof' jackets are useless not only are they totaly not waterproof but the hood keeps coming of when its windy or am I mising something, the only way of keeping it on your head is to tie the string together, saying that the waterproof bottoms are ok apart from being far to big.

Never mind delivery...how long would it take to prep a 1300 drop frame and the 200+ minimum D2D you would have to do...

I wouldn't bother the picture either..some of our frames are joined and run half the length of the building...it doesn't mean one guy does it though.

Someone was saying earlier on this forum that it is an offense to take pictures of the frames in a DO. Dunno how true that is - but be careful.

Another really heavy day so much for lighter summer traffic figures

Stepped out the office at 9.10 am and by the time i had started my first letter it started chucking down reallly heavy and did not stop for about an hour by which time i was soaked through.

Hammered it down most of the morning and early afternoon. Really heavy on the packets, bad day all round.

You only got a row and a half per walk or something?
nope....

my walk is just over 1300 drops.....

and the overtime was around 300.

You know you have to put the letters through the doors that they are addressed to....right
