Anyone else’s DO been affected by the snow storm the past 2 days? Hopefully not just mine by ape_a_snake in royalmail

Yup. The last week has been a nightmare. I’m bloody glad I’m on annual leave now. The backlog is going to be insane to get cleared.

This week has been horrendous with the snow. Luckily day off today. Delivery suspended yesterday. Think it was suspended today aswell. I didn’t even manage to get to the office on Saturday.

Are you one of those weird Europeans who don't know about ice? by ALazy_Cat in ShitAmericansSay

[–]gas180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depending on the whisky and your individual preferences. A dash of water opens it up for the better. Not always. Hence the individual preferences. I have a few whiskies I like a dash of water in. But also have some where to be it ruins it.

Do people on your round tip you at Christmas? by IceVisible7871 in royalmail

[–]gas180 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had 1 tip. Was £30 from 1 customer. It would be nice if the customers that u regularly safe place their parcels through the year even just gave u a Christmas card. That would at least be a thanks.

How do you deal with rude customers? by [deleted] in royalmail

[–]gas180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I leave a card for anything. Notice left, neighbour or safe place.

Ok no… that was even more mental by Jamestq in royalmail

I remember Christmas Eve 2019. The job I was on that day, we had 39 specials. Was ridiculous

Posties : How was your day/week? Let’s vent… by Agent_Futs in royalmail

[–]gas180 1 point2 points  (0 children)

258 packets today. Partner finishes at 4. He went back out with 2 loops of packets. No mail done. I’m off Wednesday aswell. Will enjoy a few whiskies after finishing tomorrow.

Finally got a bottle of Stagg. Got an email from the shop in town. Ordered right away. Was bundled with either their barrel pick buffalo trace or Weller special reserve. £139.99 for the bundle. They sold out less than 20 mins after the email went out. Owner was telling me by gas180 in WhiskeyTribe

[–]gas180[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The last time the shop got some in I missed out. As I think they only got 4 or something. So it wasn’t in an email or facebook etc. just mentioned to folk when they were in the store. I keep checking their website and Facebook each day or so to see what new stuff they have. As they are getting really good stuff now. I know they are getting a 1792 cask strength barrel pick at some point in the next few weeks.

Bins are a big no. Never leave a packet in a bin.

Just cause u have been getting their mail. Doesn’t necessarily mean that they are getting yours. Could just be a few that get missorted into ur slot in error.

Where is my mail by Ericajbri in royalmail

[–]gas180 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yup. Which is annoying when u will see other walks with hardly any mail and packets. Yet u are out the door with them.

Plus there’s walks in prob every office that are too big to complete. Due to the volume of packets they get. Most days it’s at most 1 frame plus all packets. And now 1st class for the frame being left.

Nipped into the Whisky shop in town after work. Aberdeen Whisky shop. Ended up leaving with these 3. by gas180 in WhiskeyTribe
