They push us to get rid of them by any means if you have excess others dump them on us so they don't have to do them it is a crazy system something needs to be done dingo.
yes we do get the diane doors every week some sectors get more than others but it normally works out about the same each month. 3/4 mates a week but the last few weeks there has been a lot more due to the strikes on the horizon.

Basically the amount delivered correctly. As against returned because they weren't.

I just checked my calendar - its not 2009 or 2007 - must be a strike looming.

I've heard that London have very very few d2d as lots of small private companies will employee people who are 10 a penny on very low wages which enables them to massively undercut RM. I'm told that London posties average about 1 drop a week and rarely get more than 2.
YMMV

Is this a joke? I had 6 d2ds on one frame of a shared van duty last week and 3 on the other, we always get at least 1 per frame per week usually a lot more...
