It's normally around about mid November when it starts to get really busy

Black Friday is the Friday 24th November just before xmas pressure starts and cyber monday is on the 27th November.
this will be busy but it seems that the general public have realised that buying earlier means they get their stuff on time, so I would think the busy time will start in around 2 weeks from now for Packets and the busy period for catalogues etc will be this Wed / thur / fri.

All new houses that are built are just added on to the nearest round,how crazy is this when most of the rounds are far too big anyway.When I asked about this the answer I got from the DOM was there is no such thing as area growth! You couldnt make it up.So all the planning and measuring of each round to supposedly make them fair and doable,well what a joke that was.

If you work on a CSS machine you can see the area growth by batches that have to be split into two new ones, when they hit the limit of delivery points allowed per batch!

nahh got 1600 calls btw us , on a so called easy Tuesday 5 + hours , and on a normal day takes us over 6 hours and on a busy day 7 hours , so I wouldnt call that a small route , mind you we do start on time , take a break and use lwts on every loop. and yes we are busy.
