Think it's due to Ramadan with all these packets. Think there's a week left & here's hoping it will quiet down

Isn't it that Royal Mails volumes are going down but because we have to carry Whistl and what not we actually have more mail? It seems to come in seperately and there have been quite a few occasions I have been told by the DIM to leave it stacked by the frame if its already heavy.

Also, I thought the school holidays had to kick off in July and people start going away for it to get lighter?

I doubt that, my pkts have been mental all summer, never really declined since Christmas and I've only got one Asian family on my whole delivery.
