Eye test?

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I often get headaches after delivery. Normally put it down to eye strain and dehydration. I know I should drink more water whilst out on delivery but then have to think about access to toilets while I'm out.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

:sad: Couls also be down to spinal problems, but dehydration too, and don't forget this can be a problem in winter too!

I would also go with dehydration.

Also in this bright weather the glare of white paper does not help. Sunglasses my help.

Used to happen to me till I started wearing a baseball cap and drinking water halfway round my duty,fixed it straight away.
Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing.

Drinking more doesn't necessarily mean you need the toilet more, especially in the summer. In fact you may need to go more if you don't drink anything rather than if you keep drinking a sensible amount.

I go with what has already been said.
wear a hat and
drink plenty,
i dont leave the house without drinking a large mug first thing.
and then again at the office.
I also dont drink coffee or cola after 9.00pm it sounds silly but you can pay for that mistake with restless fidgety sleep.
you should suffer from less headaches if the quality of your sleep improves.!

Any headaches that start suddenly and persist should be seen to by a Doctor...
