Maybe that would require a manager to be able to operate a basic computer program without pulling faces like a 5 yr old faced with a difficult sum.

Not likely to happen in RM, I think.

I have done a rural for 11 years now in the peak district,before that I did 10 years doing everything(delivery,distribution,processing)....I have to say the rural is great,not so good in the snow.But like davef14 I also have over 250 drops,takes over 5 hours and always finish after the walk men......but I still wouldn't have it any other way.....best part is no sharing a van :nana
