A checklist?
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one

Yes,spend xxx amount of thousands creating a sophisticated computer programme akin to iwt or pegasus.This type of hi tech software is fail proof and should ensure that all pouches are taken out on delivery with you.merry xmas :cool

If you are on a HCT walk, you should not be using a pouch at all. It should be pushed around the whole duty, if it goes out of sight while delivering, it should be locked to an immovable object. If you are delivering in a "high risk area" than you should get the locked HCT back in sight within two minutes, unless all mail is removed, the only practical place this is likely to happen outdoors is by placing all this mail in sacks at official replenishment locations.

I'm the same - too many Miranda repeats on tv for my liking.

Invest in a personal assistant to remind you of things during your day?

Cut the strings out of a tennis racket, place it on your head before going out with a note on the handle saying "don't forget your pouch". ?

Can't help you with the rural bit.

I'll get my Coat.... :wink:

Leave one in your van overnight, on the assumption you use the same van.
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.

Get into a routine as soon as you start work put a pouch somewhere, where you can't forget it.

More often than not I can park my car outside of our office for the day. However, sometimes I have to park it in the yard as the spaces have gone. So, to remind me when I have to park in the yard I leave my car keys on top of my PDA. Then, when I see my PDA I know I have to move my car. :)

Maybe, find out what your van is first of all and throw one in the back.
If you do a job too well, you’ll get stuck with it.
