West Bradford and Shipley to name 2.

all because they are doing the job properly...
They put some offices to shame :Applause
I live in Bradford and my hat goes off to you guys, cos my mail comes in a treat on time through the letterbox. Well done, lads and lasses!

God you're making me feel guilty. That's what my frame looked like when we got back from the 4 day strike. How come other offices are still in this state? Our backlog was cleared long ago

We have a small office of about 40 walks.Piles of crap mail everywhere since the strike and sudddenly they have started offering 3-4 hours a day each a day to do extra sorting when we return from deliveries.unfortunately I cant due to picking kids up so all I get is f***ing mega deliveries and I am not happy. :evil/mad
Is it just our area or is this commonplace?

Tomorrow is going to be c**p in our area, this morning I sorted 6 yorks of mailsort for our rural offices and there are loads more yorks and cages out in the yard. Also threw a walk off this morning, so much stuff it barely fitted in the frame, hardly any 1st class stuff, mainly mailsort and dsa, very few packets though, loads of poxy dishwasher tablets, great tying the bundles up with them in..........not!
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet
Keep on shuf-shuf-shuffling to this ghost dance beat
Just keep on walking down never ending streets

God bless you. We will all be thinking about you. I said my prayers for you and all the lads and lasses at the big RM. Don't get caught in rain with them tablets and look to your next off period. :Very Happy
