Yep, as a geek. 2d Bar Codes can contain


1556 ASCII (8 Bit), 2335 alphanumerical or 3116 numeric characters

Which can add up to a load of data if you think there are 70K delivery routes, and that ignores the MCs, DCs and all other Indoor users.

My PDA finally logged on about 12:30 final loop coincidentally the sun came out around that time too.

We were the same. Seemed random as to who and when we could log-in. I managed to scan all items bar one at beginning of delivery which I put on EPOD card - lo and behold I get home and what is in my pocket?

On annual leave next week as well, but I am not going in to hand over card until I am back a week on Monday - I will txt gaffer number and tell him it was delivered with signature.

As far as the "as long as you scanned every item you will be fine" line - if a knowntechnical glitch prevents items from being processed through the system properly, then in absolutely no way should the person delivering the items be held in any way responsible. Royal Mail will have to suck it up and pay compensation as and when required to customers and perhaps come up with a more robust fail safe. Cost of doing business and all that jazz!

Post it to them, help put the volumes, that are supposedly declining,but aren't , up.

With the delivery address as part of the bar code data I expect in theory the DOM would eventually be able to see a breakdown of what each walk has got to deliver
