Re: goodbye royal mail
10 years I've been inside.........but only the past few years have screwed me up, hills and steps are the enemy of us and should be limited when planning out any delivery (3 1/2 hours of constant hills/steps is just too much).
I'm preparing myself for the zombie invasion, rule number 1 - Cardio

maybe in the future the postie will be the new 2 year national service like in the old days.TrueBlueTerrier wrote:I think its accelerated since Crozier (although have no links to prove it) - I guess because of his claim of Spanish Practices and being only 60% efficient this gave management the green light to turn the screw and no we have the situation where after about 10 - 15 years working as a walking postie things start to break down. CDV and trolleys "may" extend the useful working life of an average postie but not enough to make this a School to retirement job.stokes11eg wrote:Stormproof wrote:I think they will be rid of me down the IHR route within the next 12 months. I've been diagnosed with COPD and I very much doubt I'll beable to continue in the job and the way its going I'll be glad to be out of it.I'm starting to think R/M must have the highest percentage of workers paid off on health grounds! What a job!

Re: goodbye royal mail
I was thinking the same the other day... is the local geography and terrain taken into account with pegasus or geo-route (or whatever the hell its now called)?... my D.O. serves a very hilly area and some of the walks are horrendous, whole estates built on a hill side so you are constantly walking up and down slopes and steps for the whole delivery. It must be so much tougher than delivering in a flat part of the country.DGP1 wrote:10 years I've been inside.........but only the past few years have screwed me up, hills and steps are the enemy of us and should be limited when planning out any delivery (3 1/2 hours of constant hills/steps is just too much).
