Aftermath from today - all radiators etc fully booked !
... with 2 hours of overtime and a frozen aching body - a truly horrible horrible day - the Sunday snow turned into cold Monday rain (it was like walking through rivers of slush at times ... new RM "bovver boots" still to arrive, so bloody trainers are now stuffed with newspaper) - a mountain of packets and parcels (reckon I took a "few too many" - I'm much too nice to our drivers !!). Sodden feet then almost from the off - and by 1630 they were like blocks of ice as the temperature dropped. Followed by a shivering 20 minute wait for a bus home ...
The upside appears to be a dramatic improvement in the weather over the next few days (whoo hoo !) - but I'm sure the packets will get worse ... and worse - will have to be more brutal with my choices, because naturally you end up with an overflowing "final bag" - full of mail and packets ... and all the bloody undeliverable ones as well (many of which were in less than satisfactory condition by the time I got back to the local Post Office - bugger all I can do about it though - suggestions here revolve around larger letter boxes or "Safeplace" options (read about it here - how many people are aware of this service ?? Not many I guess ... they really come into their own at this time of year).
The weather improvement might help the "closest football option" for tomorrow night though - we'll see.
And DON'T FORGET - last posting day tomorrow for 1st class letters/card (ever the helpful postie !!)

Comment deleted - who gives a monkey's about jobs being created in Singapore - especially as when the Singapore company took over Simon Carves it was the beginning of a long dark drop to oblivion...
Apologies to DarKScoRpioN ... but I don't - and I ain't gonna advertise either !
