Why are couriers miserable bastards?

Jontyponty are u one of the 500-a-week peeps then buddha, back when such amounts could buy a small house. not fair. damn the internet, though it hasnt killed us, it has made us weak.

See the messmedia site for 'couriers are dying out' stories going back to 1959.
