"A day in the life of a postwoman"

I thought this little video was worthy of a mention, the young lady who made it is genuinely enthusiastic about the job which is a refreshing change : ) and quite a dab hand at producing videos by the looks of it, wonder if the RM media team had any say over it?

11,500 steps, surely thats only 50% of the duty done

Definitely a Royal Mail propaganda exercise. She is allowed to do an urban loop without the use of a trolley, walks across gardens, over fences. The job is referred to as an easy walk, nice early start, 4 hours in a nice warm depot sorting mail, and nice early finish at 2.30pm with about a 3.5 hour walk taking into account 30 minutes break.

Anyone know the percentage of new recruits that leave within first year. If it that easy should be 0 per cent.

Presumably this video was sanctioned by RM management, they allowed her to wear RM uniform, travel in RM van, etc.
Why have they allowed its publication when the postie acknowledges that she goes to the toilet in the bushes if necessary, climbs through fences and across grass, carries a bag where a trolley could be used, etc.
Interesting uniform style too!

This lady certainly knows how to carve up her delivery.

WTF!

"It's quite cool, you get paid just for walking around." Yeah, that's all there is to it...

But hey, where can I get me a pair of those hi-viz knee length orange socks? I'm off to the Dimensions website right now....

A right carve up, two of them doing one round, politely going through gardens, fences, typical trolley-less delivery underway, just the sort of thing that RM supposedly disapprove of. Why has this been produced if only for a wind up? Surely RM management of any intelligence would not have sanctioned this?
