I'm into last 2days of my A/L , I'm sat on a balcony in Spain just having 5mins before the final assault on the bar later and I was just thinking how my legs and feet aren't aching , it's took nearly 2weeks and it's time to do it all again . Just posted something on the good old days forum , getting back into routine when your walk was 2 hours on a bad day wasn't as hard

Heavy here, and the regional management decided to delay us another 30 minutes by trying to convince us the end is nigh and all roads lead to TNT unless we lapse more and through the winter :crazy:

Yes, shocking day for packets here too. Bristol mail centre failed on 15,000 packets yesterday which doesn't bode well......
Mail not too bad though. We brought back 24 packets today. In WTL the DIM tried to tell us "On Saturdays we get most 739 complaints as people are in bed - give them FOUR MINUTES before writing it out." :crazy: :crazy:
