Why so het up about it??

At least the guys are working and trying to pay their way in life.

What about UPS TNT etc etc etc are they not doing the same ish job as us, on our pitch ? Lifes tooooo short my friend to be worrying over some one doing d2d's, a job that every one (nearly) on here complains about doing.

As for the uniform, damn right... if i started a small company, I would look at the biggest and best (us !) in the industry and copy them and their brand and piggy back off that.

If youre doing 6 d2ds and 4 d2ds dont you have enough to be getting on with anyway.

Big cities like Embra will always be targetted by such companies becasue there is such a market.

I'll struggle on with 1 and 2 d2d's and occasionally none. That'll do me just nice.

I'd prefer to have Royal Mails colour changed to something not red. I detest red and hate having to wear it.

New RM delivery company as a trial run maybe??????????
It costs them nothing to get us to do them though.

Don't know what the fuss is about, people will know they aren't the real McCoy because they aren't paired in a van with an LCT or walking the streets with a big red pram.
