£5 for me, from one senior citizen whom I'd seen or spoke to before. This is on a P&L round of about 1300 addresses in total.

Well I can tell you one thing, there will be no more stashing parcels in bins, sheds, garages, over back gates, in mini dustbins, under caravans, in trailers, in external cupboards, behind plant pots, in a neighbour's house or anywhere apart from in their hands or my pouch or my van!

I can't wait for for somebody to ask my why I'm not leaving their parcel in the 'normal' place! :Very Happy
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

About £80 so far but only been on this walk for 9 months or so since the revision so haven't actually spoken to that many people. Mainly been tipped by the people in the poorer schemes while the customers in the more well off areas have given hee haw. Fair difference from the £400+ i used to get on my last duty :sad:

Numerous tips, but the best ones are the " thank you postie for doing a great job for us", and after the year we,ve had it makes you feel appreciated. :Very Happy
