I think with privatisation looming RM staff will be doing as much overtime as possible to boost their savings incase the worst should happen. :sad:

August was quiet last year- Staff on holiday but against that fewer business letters and parcels sent. It picked up last year during August bank holiday week, not earlier.

Nothing this week.

One last week at short notice - i.e. can you get in now.
