Brb found a recorded letter in my bundle but left pda in van
Brb mail blown out of my hands and chasing after letters down the street
Brb writing out a p739 whilst dog is going mad and its pissing it down and pen runs out
brb the long time customer who only ever makes an appearance to complain about something trivial
brb the ever so nice but irritating old woman who asks for her mail on occasion when walking her dog (off to the back of the van I go for a rummage)
brb the fit female ebay addict (excuse the sexism for a moment) who reminds me on a daily basis just how old I really am
ftw the sheer joy that is a whole week off in one and a half weeks time! :)

Because if you walk the streets for 4 hours every day, your body becomes used to that level of physical activity and you don't burn the calories off in the same way someone with a sedentary lifestyle would when they start to be physically active.
I reckon I burn off 0 calories each day out on delivery.
(I'm sure there are people out there with pedometers that would challenge that statement and I'm sure their devices are telling them they are burning off approx. 1 000 calories each day on delivery.)
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

It burns more than lying on your back staring at the ceiling but not a great deal more than your average active person.
I've worked indoors in a mailcentre and probable covered more miles than out on delivery.

You dont lose calories until your heart rate has increased by so much , i dont think walking around does that
The runners , maybe yes
Exactly. People tramp about at 1mph dragging their feet, eat cr*p in the canteen at break time, smoke, are 5 stone overweight and claim they're fit because they walk a few miles a day. Yet if they ran 50 yards they'd collapse in a sweaty heap
