Not on a Saturday, but a few years ago one of my workmates was in his local at 7.30pm on a Friday when the postie walked in with the mail.

Re: Beat this
I was looking through my cut off bags left upstairs in the overtime pile for a packet for a customer and I came across the same part of my round 4 times meaning 4 lots of my city off bags were sitting there from 4 days running. Nobody likes my walk because it's full of pikeys they had to get people in Sunday to do them

Re: Beat this
Some guy at our office used to do up to 3 walks in one day, about 9pm was his latest finish time. The scum management let this go on for years. He is now on long term sick with a serious medical condition caused by walking far too many miles each day

Re: Beat this
To be fair, only the individual knows how well they feel. People train for and run marathons which are 26 miles, 3 walks while excessive isn't as physically demanding as that, especially if you use a trolley and take your time. I'm only guessing, but this person most likely went faster than normal to try and finish at a sensible time and in turn injured themselves. So if the postie says they are fit to do the work who is the manager to say different?piranha wrote:Some guy at our office used to do up to 3 walks in one day, about 9pm was his latest finish time.

I know people would be kicking up far more of a fuss if management were telling people they couldn't do OT.
At the end of the day, health & safety is as much your own responsibility.

From the English "turnpike", the place where itinerent travellers and thieves would camp near a settlement.
Pikey is not a racial group, the term is used to describe anyone who lives in a caravan or shares the same values and "culture" of "the travelling community", and whose main sources of income are as follows:
Stealing cars, flogging roses in pubs for "childrens' charities", nicking lead off roofs, burgling garden sheds, blagging entry to old peoples house to rob them, doing dodgy tarmac jobs ("we've got some black stuff left over from a job up the road"), sometimes with mint imperials used as a substitute for white chippings, or, reportedly, using snow to lay slabs on when the sand ran out, stealing your bollocks if they weren't in a bag and anything else that's not nailed down and anything that is nailed down but will fit in the back of an untaxed Transit when nobody's looking.
Characterised by lurchers on a string, a unintelligible language that "isn't English, it isn't Irish, it's just Pikey" (source: Film: Snatch), a penchant for harecoursing, ketamine, lighter fuel, fighting in pubs and shopping at Lidl.
Best avoided.
