Postives things about this job!!!

Post by steven100 »

Its about time we started a positive thread. It nothing but doom and gloom.

Why do we give you our life for this job..........wait i'll get back to you on that :dance :dance :dance .


1) We finish early ........ no we don't.
2) The mails decreasing...... questionable but the walks are longer.
3) Walks are shorter.... see above.
4) Parcels should only be 20 a day........and the rest.
5) Managers respect us.... (cough cough).


Ok maybe it wasn't a postive thread :nana :nana

It's the rummage about in the bottom of the bag and the triumphant production of half a dozen pre-war Pan Drops complete with unidentifiable "fluff" you really need to be careful of.
