Was asked this morning if I fancied going to Glasgows main sorting office throughout Christmas period, not sure about it. Anyone on here ever done it? What are +/-? AND is the money any good?

It will be cutting, tipping, facing and sorting. As Tommo says it's fairly boring, but you can listen to your ipod or walkman while sorting which helps, and if you get in with a decent group you can have a chat and a laugh which helps to make the time pass. The money will be better if you put in the hours, and you're inside and warm and dry.
