Politics aside, I had an Amazon account for a very short period until I discovered that working practices for their employees was appalling. Closed the account and now do my best to avoid stuff being delivered by underpaid van drivers. If I can, I force myself to wait until the next trip into town but it's so eeeasy...
My drive to the workshop (now gone) passed a depot for parcel dispatch and at the wrong time of day there were regularly 30 or 40 saloon cars and small vans in the yard and spilling onto the lane, each with a trolley cage full of parcels which drivers have to sort into delivery order to their patch. I wonder if they get an allowance for doing this or are they paid per item?
One afternoon last week I spotted 4 different delivery vans in the village (population less than 750). The times of British Rail with a goods depot for British Road Services were obviously the halcyon days of my dim and distant youth
