They don't save your legs on P&L. The thirty seconds saved is thirty seconds of work you don't cut off with later on. If they say 'save your legs' to me, I tell them they're fighting a losing battle. They went past the point of saving a while back.

Awww, to be fair on my old walk, I had a few really nice customers who lived up stupid houses with about 20 steps each and quite often a couple fo them would come down and get them and it genuinely did save my legs. So fair play to some of 'em!

'Let me save your legs Postie...'

'Thanks...' *walks off mumbling* '...you've just %*^!ing watched me walk 20 yards down your gravel drive and you're 2 feet away from the letterbox, but thanks.'
