They shouldn't have them, PDAs are for people in vans only.

Recently one of my colleagues told me he saw his postie delivering on foot with the PDA strapped to his wrist.
Surely he shouldn't be doing that? He asked me.
We won't be doing that will we? He asked me.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Even if you are on Park and Loop, you still have to carry the things! I usually put it in my bag, in the front pouch.

The straps are crap, although thats because some people put them around their biceps. Mine has broken so it has to go in the pouch.

If you have a trolley,why the hell would you carry the thing.

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

In the pouch on the trolley - sounds like you've got a woodpecker in there though if you don't lock the keypad.

I tried strapping it around my forearm at first, but kept smacking it off gateposts :dance, so now I either keep it in the cavernous pockets of my (old uniform) trousers, or put it in a pouch.
