After seven years with RM I have never had so many complaints in one day about a particular D2d, and there is still the other half to do tomorrow.

I sat on the corner of a busy street knackered waiting for my driver took my baseball cap off a old lady through a £1 coin in the hat she thought I was homeless. Bless her!

What do you do with 2000 gallons of coal ink left over from the good old days of Fleet Street ? Turn Royal Mail in to the minstrel show. With a song and dance show by RM managers

Re: The day of the black hands !
Washed my hands and arms six times today! Twice at work, three times out on delivery and then back at the office after we finished. Bloody cheap crappy printers ink. It was all over the mail as well, you only had to look at the bundles and black smudges everywhere on all those once nice formerlywhite envelopes!
Bloody glad we've got them nearly completed. I pray, and hope,
we don't have to put up with a shite deal like that again!
Next time the soddin' Union agree to something like that we should be paid extra per item (5p min), and not just have it treated as a normal D2D either!

Re: The day of the black hands !
I hold the bundles in my left hand (being right-handed) and they rest against my front - my hands were OK but my nice fresh light-blue short-sleeved shirt had turned a sick grey when I got back to the DO, like Rab Nesbitt's vest....
