Don't call 4mph average anyway they forget we also have to open and shut gates, knock on doors with pkts/sign fors an carry bags and pick up drop bags. apparently we are supposed to be fitter than average cause we are posties p******s

This time of year I do,but in a couple of months way over time,I used to have a lot of grief from management because I was on sorting until 0640 and was surposed to take part timers out at 0800,so that allowed me 1hr 20 min to prep a walk of over 500 houses,check the van over,load the parcels usually about 20 from the 3 walks,get the specials and be rolling for 0800,now I don't go on sorting so it makes it easier to get done
