timing of rounds by Georoute

Post by eastie »

When these rounds were fed into the computer was the age of the postman taken into consideration ??
Surely a fit 20 year old is going to be faster than a 60 year old postman whose been plodding the street for 30 years .
You wouldnt expect a 50 yr old Seb Coe to run a 1500mtr race the same time he did when he was 20 years old

And what was the walk speed.

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.

What was the call rate and what was the attendance rate?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I believe that is called positive discrimination it would be like having different speeds for men and women. Vive la difference I say.

No, after the planners had finished f**king up the walks and scarpering , counting their bonuses never to be seen again. Taking 5 months I might add.
It was down to a solitary postman from our office on light duties to go through all walks to make them a bit more workable in 2 WEEKS.
