My trolley only falls over if I have to bump it down a kerb. Idiot planners don't take into account dropped kerbs, well they did'nt in my office.
Are you saying the trolleys need a dropped kerb?
I've never used one but there seems to be so much that is flawed with them I'm beginning to wonder if they turn corners...

not many at our office using trolleys either. went over time today by 45 mins and that was with out taking over size parcels. only way posties get finished in our office is when the idiots come in 30-45 mins before their time, also taking NO breaks. surely managment have a right to stop this or is it they won't cuz it helps them out so the mail is cleared and they get their bonouses. stinks bigtime
