That's why last April saw a 34% increase in the basic price of a 9am Special Delivery from £11.35 to £15.25. :nana We still get plenty of them though. :sad:

Had this arguement with my Dickhead so many times!! Been told to re-route, 'ok boss but I've got a special at either end of my 80 mile route', 'why don't you start in the middle?' :crazy:
'ok, I'll run the route all over the valley', next day dickhead says ' you opened the boxes early, why?' :crazy:
I have told him 'you CANNOT be in two places at once, fact' :arrrghhh :arrrghhh :arrrghhh
