Do you work for Royal Mail then Spuddy ?

[Paynie1]

Old people only talk about the weather because they are old and lonely and have no1 else to talk to so they keep the postman, milkman paperboy in conversation for aslong as possible, thats why i fink

Yes unfortunately, Night shift.

Compo and Leggett also work for Royal Mail.

Had no idea!

I'm on delivery at a small rural office.

Start at 5am, finish at 1pm

We work in the main delivery office at Swindon, i start at 9:30pm and finish at 5:20am. Were full time unlike some of our Posties...... :-))(

[Ralphy]

Swindon mail centre i take it ? Or a delivery office?

Why are some of your postman part time? Small rounds?

Since SDD (single day delivery for those that don't know) came in, we all finish at about the same time.

My round is a walk with 400 delivery points.

I also do a rural with 350 delivery points.

Dunno if i said this before, but i always thought it would be a good job being a postie.

Everyone says that, most people think it's just like doing a paper round, they have a shock when they start!

I start at 5am, sort mail from then until 6am and then we 'prep' our delivery rounds.

Each round has a 'frame', basically a metal desk-like thing with a slot for each house's mail.

You collect all the mail for your round from the sorting frames and bags and it takes about 1 hour to get all the mail in order.

You then pull the mail out in street order into bundles and band them up.

Collect special deliveries from secure locker and off you go on a 3 and a half to 4 hour delivery.

Yeah the Mail Centre, well they're not suppose to go out till 9am but they dont care about that, hence why when i had a special delivery the other week i had a card through the door with 7:40am wrote on it, of course i then had to walk down there to get it cos the fucking cunt Postie went out too early. :evil:

[McLovin]

I got a card through the door at 8.30 while i was in the shower claiming my parcel was delivered at 9.  cheating bastard.

[Ralphy]

Naughty swindon posties.

[oxford_fan]

at least yours are overly efficient, the oxford postal system is pure crap at times and our post centre is notorious for striking. i dont think we've had a regular postie for years, i used to know our one but it changes all the time now.
