Post by eastie »

Why then in the Courior does it show about 5 pictures of postmen delivering with bags on their shoulders?

There are many delivery routes in my office where any form of trolley is simply not practical. Mainly due to the 'terrain' on the delivery route.

The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

Most of my P&L delivery is small blocks of flats or high rise tower blocks so I can't use the trolleys.

Well our office is a trolley-enforced office but the new delivery bags that are coming in don't have the handles for the trolleys. Can safely assume RM aren't making them any more lol
