Nah, that'll never change

I swear I had a tracked delivery the other day and I didn't get a text. I don't even remember giving my phone number to the website I bought the item from. So I assume not all tracked items are linked to someone's phone number when they are scanned.

Plenty of people doing that now, ambling around the supermarket aisles gawping slack jawed at the shelves, or couples stood around having some drawn out conversation over which type of beans to get... instead of just getting in, getting what they need and getting out again in a timely and efficient manner.

I agree, meanwhile the queues outside are massive and the selfish don`t care.

I can't stand the people that place their trolleys up against the shelves while they stand there taking forever to make a decision what to buy.....come on! get your trolley out of the way so I don't have to stand here forever waiting for you to pick something as I cannot simply pick what I want off the shelf with your bleeding trolley there!

It'll be nice just to give the old Mum a hug. I should have probably said that first. Sorry Mum!

(I don't know why I'm apologising anyway, she can't even work a smartphone/tablet/computer)

When this is over I hope people remember just how really important family is?

To be totally honest the ONLY thing that really stresses me out is: Having to Socially Distance from my Kids, and All the Grandkids (8 of them .. soon to be 9). Looking forward to the 1st BIG Hugging session.

My wife is front line Staff Nurse working on a CV19 ward & as I am writing this she is currently on a 12 hour night shift so; once all this is over I will tell her how proud I am of what she has done & [ fingers crossed] how lucky we have been to get through this.

Give her my thanks and well wishes when you do please

Wombling has been an unrecognised victim of this pandemic (I like to do a bit when I got to criccieth beach)

When this is over I expect management to gather us all round into one giant huddle on the shop floor, remind us of all the hard graft that we have done and compliment us with additional lapsing.

Does anyone expect Royal Mail to do things radically differently in future?? Will they turn the office into a giant one way system like they do in supermarkets? Could they consider shorter working weeks so that there are fewer staff working indoors? Will we still be signing our customers parcels?
