Management conveniently forget that its not only extra delivery time its extra D2D prep, extra letters and parcels as well before you even start
Agreed, but the only difference in this case is yes, you would be prepping effectively the d2d's on your own lapsing unlike if it was on another job BUT you'd make that up over the week by the fact your lapsing was now in the same place as your delivery as opposed to having to divert to do it. Plus you don't have to p!ssball about going to the scramble at another frame to get the lapsing bundled. :dance

Does anyone know the official ruling on extra houses on a walk ?

The walk i signed for has a new development getting bigger and bigger,But im still expected to do this within my time,These houses were not factored in to my walk when signed for,A few others in the office are in the same position but just expected to accept it,Any info appreciated.
Nip out at break time with a bag or two like a few Numpties do at our office then the the floaters struggle and managers can't understand why?
