Re: Xmas mayhem Start?
Packets and parcels have already started ramping up. Same thing happened last year where people got in early with their xmas online shopping. Not necessarily a bad thing though, it did mean the two weeks immediately prior to xmas were slightly less frantic! 
Union what Union? Do we have a union?

Its started already has it not they all think we go on strike at this time of year so they order in good time did not help them a few years back though we were still delivering the Christmas packets in February but with the lack of staff and lapsing who needs a strike just blame royal mail and their greedy managers!

Re: Xmas mayhem Start?
I have some customers who have packets every single day.
I often wonder where do they store all these things?? Maybe i have a walk filled with hoarders!!

Christmas is a doddle nowadays. All the thousands of cards on every walk have disappeared. A few more packets maybe. Easiest two weeks of my year
