Phone up your delivery office and explain the continual error - if your round has a regular postman then he'll be made aware of the error - they perhaps don't know they're doing it. It is slack as fuck, though.

Before I started, I never envisioned myself as a postman either - mainly due to the early hours. But I had just quit One Up because it was co-owned by a child monkey and I needed to pay my rent and bills; so needs must and all that. I slept so little as a postman, though. I lived in Mastrick for the most part and I still attended gigs and socialised a lot, so about three or four nights a week, I'd roll home at around 1am then pull myself out of bed around 4:30am for work. Horrible.

Good job, though. There were aspects of it that I loved, but in the end I felt I was too socially active to realistically sustain it. Brilliant job for someone a bit older and with more domestic responsibilities.
