£60-70 per day for a 12 hour shift. That's minimum wage.

good on them, have to say though the amount of mail they are shifting per person is rather low, at least compared the RM office I worked in. though the cyclist on his own while low isn't that bad. but a 12hr shift?

some thing doesn't add up considering how small city postcodes are.

All businesses have start up costs and low turnover in the initial stages. And if he CAN franchise the idea he could make many times that sitting on his ar5e.

I don't think it would scale. if he's just delivering letters? and not charging for a fast delivery etc. then 12hrs to deliver 250 items is shocking,

LMAO that first scene where he jumps on his bike and cycles off- thats literally 3 mins walk from my house!
