What times (official) do people start and finish around the country anyway. It'd be good to see the variation. We are 3 and 4pm finishes every day of the week with start times varying accordingly with the 4pm finishers starting from 7.45 mid week to 9am on Tues (and this is full timers).

I believe it all basically depends on how far you are from the Nearest Mail Centre, and what time they schedule your Mail to arrive. Ironically I think you'll find some of the DOs nearest to the Mail Centre actually recieve their mail later than some further away. Due to RM factoring in the time taken to drive across the County. :crazy:

I'd expect a wide variation on timings as RM try to be as "Efficient" as possible, with figures churned out by a Computer accurate to the last minute that bear no resemblance what so ever with the Real World. When you look at the 318s within our DO they all have jobs taking 14 mins 17 secs..... 11 mins 5 secs etc etc :cuppa
