Park and Loop failure

Post by viking »

Have just seen my postie out delivering her part of the loop, she parks the van near my house and she is alone. I asked her where her P&L partner is..she replied "Oh he goes out in his own car so he can get done quicker" WTF. some people will never learn :arrrghhh :d'oh! Also i have started to get two deliveries a day for the last week. Two lots of mail being delivered by two different posties. The first arrives at about 10.15 and the second arrives about 45 mins later...so what is going on in the DE75 area. :shock:

Isn't this on the Offices with a Failing Revision list.

Sundays - sounds like they're playing catch up.

The 2 deliveries a day may be because they are getting someone out the door before all the mails in/ or prepped and someone else has to take the balance when it's ready.
If that's the case then it sounds like a complete shambles. It wouldn't surprise me though.

What a joke this Park and loop is, this is what will happen in a lot of offices there is always some that rush rush rush and stuff everyone else .They should dump this stupid idea go back to bikes and working on your own, then those that want to rush round continue to keep shootng themselves in the foot :mad :mad :mad
