Yeah apparently my delivery doesn't require panniers. So i bought some of Ebay, on a normal day they save me about 1/2 an hour. Instead of waiting for the driver to bring my second bag. Not his fault, he has to alot of drop offs before bringing them.

0.5xÂ£10x5x52=Â£1300 I am saving RM on Overtime.

Surely every delivery should have panniers. As they make delivering mail so much easier and efficent. Even if it's just for packets.

But if RM can't see this maybe I'll stop using my own panniers.

Only down hill though - and I am pretty sure he is riding one of RMs Mail stars -

. Mind you round here there are hills that make that one look flat.

No, no, we've more than enough with door to doors etc., don't give Crozier and Leighton the idea that we can deliver loaves of bread too.

Isn't there a risk of people leaving them unattended and some scrote nicking the mail out of them? I do use them sometimes but only if it's part of a walk where I have to bring the bike with me.

LOL! on that Hovis ad, where the feck is he meant to be from? Nowhere in the North I've ever been to?? Sounds like Bristol or somewhere?
