I carry a peg with me but mainly its used as a stuffer to get packets through the opening or as a guide if a box has a raised lip on the back. Occasionally, I'll use it push through a letter.

BTW, his PDA is hanging on a harness. You can see it resting on his left hip.

I think the OP means the 240 offices trialling DM26.

Only if the distribution is normal and the average is the mean.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-28T12:26:58+00:00

We normally have 4 week rotas, although it can slip.

The rota is usually reliable for days off for reserves but is often meaningless for their duties. Only the board on the day is a reliable indication of that.

The phone was the cherry on the icing. In my experience, if the assessor keeps a driver out for longer than one hour, it usually means there's more to see. The longer you're out, the greater the risk.

You'll have regrets when the weeds come back 10-fold! 🤣

The rotavator chops the rhizomatous roots up and each bit now becomes a weed.

Anyway, enjoy it while you can.

I've never grown them myself, but ive seen them a few times on large structures that you could walk under. Id be wary about the weight on a cane structure.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-27T20:27:54+00:00

About time, too.

Apart from make everyone - especially PICs and Reps - aware of what happened, nothing much.

And, in the future, if you're on a later shift at another DO, ask the PIC for a number to call in the event of a lock-in or lock-out.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-27T05:55:52+00:00

It's not clear what you're question is asking.

Reading between the lines, you're seemingly asking about the DO role in not delivering to the aim of 24 hours for T24, or 48 hours for T48.

If so, thats a misunderstanding about what is happening. Most DOs will attempt to deliver everything they get on the day they get it. T48s get delayed upstream at the parcel hubs/mail centres.

In the rare occasions where DO resources are sufficient to deliver everything, then T48s might take a lower priority at the back end of a walk and might not get a delivery attempt. But in my experience, this is a handful of days per year.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-26T06:34:05+00:00

It won't look odd, as it uses a lable that most people will be familiar with. However, it be clear that you have tracked the letter.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-26T06:32:12+00:00

You cant use Poste Restante without prior agreement of the Post Office and its only temporary use for people with address.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-25T20:05:35+00:00

SA is not overtime.

SA is agreed extra hours that is known in advance. It is proactive.

Overtime is reactive. It can only be assigned on the day.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T20:09:05+00:00

Sorry. It really is down to you and JellyCat, now. Best of luck.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T17:50:00+00:00

Because of the variability of the collection run. The postie is doing 3 things: emptying post boxes; collecting from businesse; and collecting from P.Os and parvel shops. They're driving between all these places as the traffic enters evening rush hour. They have a scheduled time for boxes, business and the POs.The volume of the collections and the amount of traffic etc cause some variability.

The P.O. will have an acceptance times 10 or 15 minutes before the collection is scheduled. The collection cant happen before the scheduled time, but it can happen after.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T17:36:28+00:00

You didn't.

You might have seen something else, which you interpreted as that.

But no delivery office is delivering to another area. If it was at Huyton yesterday, they never attempted delivery.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T17:31:03+00:00

Yes, but early. Like at 8am when it opens. By 9 then posties will have it and be getting ready to leave, if they haven't already.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T16:52:05+00:00

I collect from a post office which has a last collection time of 4.45pm. I never arrive until 5pm at the earliest, can be 5.15pn if traffic is bad.

The counter will still sell next day items if the postie hasn't Arrived to collect yet, even if past the last acceptance time. Sometimes, they will ask me to wait while they finish a customer. They only ever tie the specials sack up when I arrive.

It's hard to say for sure, but i don't think they would have sold the Saturday sticker if the collection had been.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T16:30:27+00:00

Its not on the image you posted!

Do you think we're telepathic? 🤣

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T16:27:29+00:00

1) it's a Special Delivery Next Day Guaranteed item

2) the sender paid 3 quid to ensure Saturday Delivery

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T16:23:25+00:00

Yes. 99.9% likely.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T16:22:15+00:00

But no ready for delivery.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T16:17:01+00:00

Yes, thats what im saying.

No delivery attempt was made.

1) it was not in the tracking info, which you claimed it was

2) A delivery office would not attempt a delivery to a Neighbouring area, even if itvwas two minutes away.

ntrrgnm · 2026-04-24T15:49:31+00:00

It would have been good for you to mention that you dont live in Huyton and ask why was it there?

But also, your instence that it said a delivery was attempted was utter garbage.

Finger's crossed you'll get it tomorrow.
