Well I know it's the South West Regional Distribution Centre at Severnside anyway. But is it true all they do all day is lob bags about?
What's the difference between them and the mail centre at Patchway? And how come they didn't just move to Severnside when Cattle Market Road closed?
Eh?
Go on, tell us!

Yes! ...And sometimes they get to drive lorries to other disribution centres full of the bags they have been lobbing around.
What's the difference between them and the mail centre at Patchway?
SWRDC: Lob bags around ...........um........can't park your car, Delivers to other Distribution Centres and Mail Centres .....er.....only has artic lorries.
The Mail Centre:- is bigger, processes mail to the postcode, walk sorts mail, has a bigger car park, processes 2c mail and MS3, delivers to Delivery Offices, has vans and 7ton lorries.
And how come they didn't just move to Severnside when Cattle Market Road closed?
There was Royal Mail and Parcel Force at the Cattle Market site, SWRDC is just a distribution site and was too small for the planned Mail Centre that was to take on the BA/BS & TA poscodes.
Eh?
