legionnaires'
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

This only occurs in poorly maintained buildings it is nothing to do with vans link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legionnaires%27_disease This is a bacterium and can be spread by people or air conditioners like Covid-19 can very few people are able to walk with this disease so how will you become infected very few your chance is very negligible ! More Worried about Boris pissing on my Cornflakes by the way don't eat Cornflakes!

And i suppose the PDA actuals take into account how many neighbours doors knocked for each parcel where the person is not in? It's all b******s, just take your time and be sure to take your breaks.

Have you guys seen the forecast for next weekend (16/17th)? Some of the media are saying it *COULD* reach the low 40s!!! That’s unprecedented in the UK. No doubt Royal Mail will just come out with the usual bollocks - wear sunscreen, take plenty of water etc. We shouldn’t even be out in those kind of temperatures.

Dont care what they say, under health and safety rules im goning in at 4am and finishing before midday.
Just what do you expect to do when you get in at 4am, most DOs won't have had their first run arrive from the local MC by then
Apparently 2yr is a PIC so can do whatever suits the role.......
All our mail will be in the office by that time on a monday, i can make a decent start on ip and locker room stuff.
Might be worth him checking if the insurance covers him at that time of day

You might have the added fun of no mech mail if we get them temperatures as if it gets that hot, the cameras in the machines start shutting themselves down for exceeding thermal limits
