Tracking a Parcel

I am expecting a parcel, which is being delivered by Yodel. I like their tracking system, because you can see exactly where the driver is.

I looked at about 2pm, and he was delivering No 3 of 115, and mine is No 101, with an estimated delivery of about 6.30.

Next time I looked he was delivering No 50. This means that he is working to a delivery schedule of one parcel every 2-3 minutes!

I suppose this might be OK in a block of flats or a street of terraced houses, but this is a rural area and some of the houses are so far back from the road that it must take 2-3 minutes just to reach the front door! The postman always drives up to the house, if he can, but I've never seen a delivery man do that yet.

They certainly earn their money. :-)

It doesn’t help when they argue they are at the right house. Luckily today’s one needed a signature so hadn’t run off. They just don’t see the walkway on the other side of the road which is called ……. Walk.
