  • with landlord / other residents OK, maybe worth installing a webcam, to catch (and record, for evidence!) any pilferer in the act?

    not sure how, but think you may be able to setup as boothtooth, so anyone (with the code!) can view on a mobile, or pc?

    more drastic idea may be make a fake package up, with a dye pack inside that covers the 'opener'..

    hmm.. i should start a business with the great (though probably dangerous/illegal?) revenge ideas i get, after pimms oclock..!

    Bagging and labeling mail for its destination
    Moving mail around the office between conveyor belts, loading docks and trolleys
    Moving mailbags from cages, sorting mailbags and bundles of mail into cages
    Loading and unloading wheeled containers from vehicles to the dispatch areas

    Age 16 £3.97

    Late - 2pm- 10pm
    Nights - 10pm - 6am

    Please note that shift times may vary from those stated.
    so why would an 'xmas' casual be working now? this is staff filling the many vacancies in RM as they wont employ FT/PT
    also you will note the bulk of these 'xmas' jobs state they are for sorting not delivery,uncle john was referring to a delivery postman.
    so what exactly would an 'xmas' casual be doing if RM's definition is for the busy december period?
