No postal service until next Thurday - Page 6

A man in a RM uniform just pulled up opposite my house in his car, got out and opened the boot and started sifting through mail and putting it in his red bag to deliver I assume

Never seen mail get posted this way on my street, it's always cyclists.
The backlog must be huge if its requiring him to use his car!

Yeah and I bet his being paid a pretty penny to do it too

I saw him move a load of the mail from the boot to the backseats...
Sorting it for the next street or stealing it, I never trust posties.

I think it's quite common these days. I see loads of them loading up their own car in the mornings on a regular basis.

I know a couple of posties and one of them had about 14 bags to deliver in 1 day after the strike, the other had 10.

/OT, Leon which TNT depot are you at if you don't mind me asking? Just wondering if it's the same one we use at work or not.

I'm based centrally at Depot 113 which is Lount PDC (Hub) where we deal with every depot in the country.
Which depot covers you?

So a deal has been made. Hopefully that'll stop the wildcats as well.

I enjoy dealing with Nuneaton, the girls who control the drivers in Nuneaton are ace. They're a pretty tight depot considering it's relatively small.

Our little postman has a RM van and always wears shorts. But we've been getting post since last Wednesday so i can't fault him.
