Unless it's MS3 then anything sent down is due for delivery, fault of the MC not the DO.

Compared to other years not very good, just like a normal Saturday in our office. Finished half hour before time but had to get a move on to do that.

Pretty much a normal Saturday for me.. Shitty mags/catalogues made an appearance, apparently "dated" and thus due, yeah right, more like let's make a start shifting it so we can get you lapsing next week, f***ing c***s.

Can't believe people still have such an easy time of it, but then the company and its systems are so f****d up it's really no surprise.

One of the heaviest I have known for a long time lots of packets mainly Amazon and Play.com and loads of cards.It may have seemed easier this year because we didn,t have to trudge round in all that snow and ice as we did last year and the year before. :Very Happy

I only had half a packet bag for the first time in the 4 months i've been doing the walk, and mail was very light. Destroyed both P&L walks in just over 2hrs and was home for 10.30. :dance
