used to be a mail sorter f*%k that walking in all weather lark..

basicly anyone can get a job with royal mail, pass the run of the mill interview then u have a 2 week training course which u are shown videos etc 1 of which shows what happens if ur caught nicking mail etc conclusion = jail everytime saw it happen in leeds the guys still serving a 7 year sentence...

anyway the training is basicly to get u sorting 300 letters in 30 mins could be more cant rem.
incoming mail is the first week then outgoing second week..
when u first get going u think no fooking way am i gunna do this but after 3-4 days it all just clicks into place...

moneys good on night shift if u can get a fixed shift on nights ur laughing.
best shift was 1pm - 9pm it flew by plus u get to sleep in and not too late to go on the piss if u fancy it..
