Just pure nuts at this time of year can't believe folk would risk life and limb to do this for a few extra pounds..

What is even more amazing is the fact that security of mail is greatly compromised by working in the dark. What is CWU doing about this? SFAP739 wrote:Just pure nuts at this time of year can't believe folk would risk life and limb to do this for a few extra pounds..

We used to deliver in the dark when we all used to be out for 6AM when it used to be a proper job but those days are long goneP739 wrote:Just pure nuts at this time of year can't believe folk would risk life and limb to do this for a few extra pounds..

Re: Delivering Mail in the Dark
I nearly rolled my ankle over delivering a packet late evening to somebodys house up dimly lit steps , makes you wonder if it's worth doing, if it puts me out of work for two months I lose far more.

We got given body torches but they're not best, I deliver packets up to 8pm and a head torch is the way forward

We could have night vision fitted to the goggles and nice Christmas songs played into the headphones
