Someone had best tell RM then....
But how do you charge them when you're out
Bit of a mute point when the bloody things never keep their charge anyway (at least the ones used in MCs). Can't wait till xmas pressure when we get halfway through the night and find that we have to just sort them and not scan them because the batteries are flat on all the pdas.

you ain't wrong
Keep my PDA in the pouch. Trouble is we are out for so long now that they run out of charge long before you get to the last loop. Nice one RM another wise purchase
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
I'm lucky that the last hour of my duty is mostly driving, get to charge it up.............at least it stops it from beeping (low battery or really low battery )
I've got mine down to single figures though but it was really really annoying
I'm preparing myself for the zombie invasion, rule number 1 - Cardio
Walkers are not suposed to carry them they are for vans only !! thats why the chargers are in the van , they were trialing a walkers version but it's gone a bit quiet on that one
pda's are designated to heavy and awkward to carry on a foot delivery but i guess the runners will tout them about to save that extra couple of seconds
Why are walkers using PDA's? P&L and in the trolley yes,bag over the shoulder no.

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. My BFF Clash The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.
PDA's are used by everyone in my office now we've had our revision. As far as management are concerned we are all in vans on P & L so we all have to take them.

I guess most of the guys who are carrying them in a bag on their back...are not supposed to be carrying a bag.
....but it makes the loops quicker/it's only two bundles...honest.

Are you having a laugh, PDA's saving time?
It takes far longer with a PDA than with an Epod card.
