Flap & I are Posties, working at the Basingstoke sorting office -well, I work anyway. Janie & Dave are also Post People & work 20 miles away in the Fleet office & often text me to taunt me about how little mail they've got to deliver & how early they get home. Had a message from Janie this morning asking who does 43 delivery in Basingstoke cos she's got a new customer who's moved from there & is receiving re-directed mail from our office. -That's MY delivery! What's the odds on that then? Of all the sorting offices in all the land, my customer moves into Janie's catchment area & not only that, goes from my delivery to hers.   |

Other way round mate -they've left my delivery to go to hers. Obviously they'd rather have Janie knocking on their door in the mornings than me.
Trouble is, whenever one family move out of my delivery, 26 Polish immigrant workers move in.

There are about 50 posties and 3 managers in our office. Dave is nicknamed "one bag benny", my nickname is Benjamina or Bennyette. Not quite so sure they'd want to see me in the mornings either, especially in this heat, my glasses are sliding down my nose leaving it green where the gilt is coming off, my hair is stuck to my forehead, mouth, and neck and my shirt is pulled out where its too hot to be tucked in and its down to my knees its so big. Attractive eh? Mmm I think not. Hope the people moving from Basingstoke to Fleet are good "tippers" at chrismas. |

You're going to think I'm taking the pi55, but my postman's name is Pat. It really is! Because I live "Rural", if he has parcels, he leaves them on the doorstep when there's no-one about. Also, he doesn't knock on the house door, he knocks on the shed one.

Most of the letterboxes on my delivery are Victorian -the size of a postcard. Nobody's ever at home & we daren't leave anything on doorsteps so I end up taking all the parcels out, leaving a card to say I've tried to deliver them, then lugging them all back again. I love my customers.

Annoyingly Chris, I don't think Flap's old enough to remember the Bicycle Repair Man sketch. I am though I reckon he'll end up spending his days sitting in the bike shed in a grubby brown warehouse coat with a pocket full of spanners & pens, flask of tea & a nic slice of cake, listening to the cricket on the radio & being a right grumpy old git. He was made for the job! |
