or think of it this way, if your DO is one that does p&l and you get held up moving between loops, chances are it'll be a larger cut-off for the dom to deal with.

When we used to start knocking on doors at 07:00 you would catch a lot of people just before they went off to work or school etc. ,now everyone is out and I bring most of the packets back.

Why not deliver at 7am and then finished at 1.00 and back in office for 1.30 then throw out the walk for next day. Have Royal Mail thought about working like that.
