Blimey....... 184kg in weight? at 10kg a bag that would make it about 18 bags! Makes the walks with 6 or 7 bags look like easy street.
WTF :shock:

Surely that cant be right!

Pretty much a perfect day - 4 bags instead of the usual 7 or 8, beautiful weather, no missorts, left out my dtd's as I have a full week for them, had gaps all over the place which is VERY unusual and got a chance to say "good morning" to everyone without checking my watch. All packets deliverable so I didn't have to pouch off. Took my meal relief at the end as I was out so early and FINISHED DEAD ON TIME IF ANYONE IS LOOKING IN THAT SHOULDN'T BE :nana :nana :nana :nana :nana

Talking to one of my customers, they told me that their son who works in advertising had met Crozier.Described him as very smooth,very slick but absolutely no intellectual depth.Made my day.

I did think about getting some roller blades :wink:

Its a cr@p duty, I have to do all that and deal with large packets and bag drops for another duty. I'm only covering it because the guy who's duty it was took EVR because he was getting stressed out with it.
So keep on moving, moving, moving your feet

Just keep on walking down never ending streets

Not to bad for mail today but the packets were heavy. Had 2 and a bit packet bags of awkward sized packets, Loads were too small for the van but too big to go through the letterbox. It felt like i was knocking on about every 20th door.
