I love getting letters and cards -wish more people would write them these days.
The amount of rainy days in the UK would mean the post never getting delivered - bring back Postman Pat! Are they allowed to accept a cup of tea during their round or is there a risk of them choking to death?  |
A lot of posties wear shorts these days- I think it's more practica in the rain - legs dry out quicker than trousers.
When we lived in Warwick one of the town centre posties used to wear shorts all year round - in December he added a Santa Claus hat and had two bags one on each shoulder with the straps crossed over his body.
