Guest Owen Posted January 4, 2010 Report Posted January 4, 2010 I must be a Nutter! I am a delivery driver and I deliver medical suplies direct to the Public. Not delivering is not an option, because we deal with sick people who can not help themselves. But I quite enjoy the driving. Sometimes it can be a challenge but I get a buzz from it. Mind you I hate having to deal with my pigeons on these cold snowy mornings. I find it hard work and I want to pair a couple of pairs but will not risk it until the weather improves.
PREMIER COURIERS UK Posted January 4, 2010 Author Report Posted January 4, 2010 We will be going out at 3.30 tom morning from portsmouth delivering so hope it keeps fine but it looks like being a long day.
