Plus folk are shopping earlier, the build up to Xmas starts late October in my opinion.
Wednesday last week we saw people out until going on 6 pm and that's with the help of parcel duties.

Agree.. I am not gonna lie today was not too bad. Obviously it wasnt your usual light tuesday you would expect in the middle of summer school holidays it a lot heavier but I personaly managed to finish just on time having meal break in the morning and not killing myself while out on delivery. I work in a medium sized depot in the large city.

Nope. I have done all the parties apart from tories. They havent arrived yet I guess. Unless they are so confident about majority that they decided they dont need any extra leaflets :crazy:

Which couple of weeks ? Christmas is around the corner :hmmmm


Scams bug. You haven't been in the mob long enough to know how it works. Lol. You will probably be wishing you never posted this when the mail is shagged and York's inside and out stacked full of missorts/Xmas cards ect. Good luck. :thumbup
