Our deliveries here are any time between 08:30 and 16:00 depending
on weather, postmen sickness, strikes, and the mood of the moment.
Gone are the days when the same postman did a route for the whole
of his working life and knew the names (and dogs) of everyone on
that route. Nowadays it's unusual to see the same postman two days
running. It's all part of modern "management" methods:- treat
workers as "work units".
Must stop before this becomes a 10-page rant.
