Excellent, by the way, a few customers will make you a brew if you ask nicely

When I first started households where voluntary,sometimes when I was a sub I`d get on a walk and the lazy old moaning gits would have left about 6 lots groaning ontop of the frame,I didn`t mind them then as I was on crap wages and the kids where young so the extra dosh was welcome.
Now I can`t stand them,and you always seem to be doing the same things every few weeks anyway.

personaly I dont mind doing them,I will moan about them and maybe give the boxes a little kick on a monday morning but I DO deliver them
macro and matalan, they seem to be always there and when there not its the addressed magazines,sometimes both at the same time, which sucks
I've even been requested by more than one customer to NOT deliver them throught the door ,but to just put them into thier re-cycle bucket instead as they are sick of getting so many ,to which i tell them that I could face dismisal if found to be doing that

as for comming in presorted,what exactly dose this mean? I've heard this but dont quite understand "presorted" how they will come into the office?
I dont know about any other office but in mine we are NOT allowed to "marry" them up they have to be delivered as seperate items.

So, and this is a real question, why do Royal Mail use an 83% call rate when plotting walks and duties. It they plotted it at 100% and included prep of door to doors in the duty time I would have no problem in delivering as many as they wanted, with safeguards on weight and adequate safe drops of course.

Payment in Proportion, that's what we want. Postpeople should be paid for D2Ds both by quantity (how many houses you have to go to) and by weight (so you get paid more for carrying heavy items). That would be a fair system.

How much tax do you pay on that extra money?

So, for D2D, it's Â£15 in reality.
