I float too and DONT bring a single letter back etc I would have more complaints about the ones on the run as they seem to bring back letters that they cant be bothered going up a long lane with! By that i mean wilful delay,cus its funny the way its the same lane or awkward house EVERY week.

Mine just changed and so far is excellent an improvement over t'other. Takes their share of D2Ds and even more sometimes. will be a pleasure to work with them. Certainly Miss Sorts are way down next day than they used to be. :hmmmm :Applause :Applause :Applause

I have had the same cover bloke for 7 years now. He covered my day off on my old walk as well as the one I'm on now. He's ok apart from being allergic to delivering Sky mags :no no

My new one is a good wee guy, no complaints. My old one what a fcuking joke of a postman whole group hated him, obviously never knew what the letters C,D,E and F was in a block of Flats, pr!ck only delivered to A's n B's Tuesday probably worse day for it, he'd batter Recorded Delivery's through doors without signatures for me to get ear-ache off of Customers the next day - and what did the Manager do about - Feck All. Thankfully the little fcuker p!ssed off to new employment elsewhere.
