Hello, darlings!

Well – here I am in Benidorm, Spain, enjoying a two-week holiday break courtesy of my dear nephew Stevie! It's absolutely brilliant here, and this old lady has been having a blast! So different from glum, rainy England...

Anyway, as you can see, I delivered on my promise and did NOT abandon you without [delivery service](http://www.courierexchange.co.uk/courier-jobs.html)-related content for two weeks. Much to the contrary, actually – I have another one of those types of posts you tend to like so much.

That's right – another of our lovely reader interactions! I know I have sort of been abusing these lately, but they are popular among my readers, and they always make for excellent posts, so why not? Plus I am on holiday – I am allowed to be a little lazy!

Don't think just because it's summer that I'm just slapping any old thing together, either – no, believe it or not, I did give today's topic a bit of thought. Turns out lying on a beach towel under the Spanish sun is really conducive to long periods of brainstorming – who knew?

Anyhow, I have kept you in suspense long enough. I know you want to know what the topic of this post is, so I'll tell you. Today, I'll be asking you what you think are the perfect [qualities necessary](https://nationalcareersservice.direct.gov.uk/advice/planning/jobprofiles/Pages/deliveryvandriver.aspx) to be a delivery service[ driver](https://info.courierexchange.co.uk/news/courier-jobs/what-are-the-essential-qualities-for-delivery-service?hs_amp=true#50169418).

Now, I know what you're thinking – why don't I tell you my opinion on that, right? Well, here's the thing – I could sit here and spout off and pretend to be an expert, but the truth is I'm not. I'm not a delivery service[ driver](https://info.courierexchange.co.uk/news/courier-jobs/what-are-the-essential-qualities-for-delivery-service?hs_amp=true#31193041) – I run a cafe. You lot are the real experts here. You're the ones who are out there each and every day and know what it takes to do what you do. So I am leaving the task of describing the perfect delivery service person to you. Simple, eh?

So go on – send your answers to the usual place, and I will peruse them and pick my favourites for next time. Yes, even while on holiday in Spain – never say I don't love my readers!

Until then, ta-ra!

Gertie
