The Loose Association of Wargamers

Is that a euphemism?

I ply our postie with Scotch at Christmas, largely so that I can enquire about missing/late parcels without getting an earful!

That's the way to do. Always treat Postie well. Smile and wave at Postie, because Postie brings parcels of joy.

We're nearly the last house on his route too, so he often stops for a rollup and a chat.

I wonder what being a Postie is like in your neck of the woods. It sounds like it might be idyllic, some of the time!

He was just telling me about having to chase his van down a hill when the handbrake didn't hold it On the whole though I get the impression that it's much nicer than trudging around a city and a later start at the Sorting Office too.

I've known a few posties. You'll never join the stinking rich, but it is regular work, low stress and, until they got bikes here is Aus, it was good exercise.

Mothers are happy, because their son getting a job as a Postie will keep him off the streets.

I have nothing but praise for the Post Office, parcels over the past year have been delivered regularly.
Even me posting parcel 2nd class signed for in some cases they are arrive to the recipient the next day and normally within the 3 working days, very few have taken up to 5 days.
All praise to the posties, well done those people BZ.

Well why not, that's the best offer I've had this year.

I ordered a Virtual Lard shirt from Saddle-Goose designs on Thursday - arrived Friday morning.. OTOH, I also have one eBay parcel due, that has been lost in the postal system for three weeks. It seems entirely random.

No chance of doing that with our regular postie, he lives on the route so he pops home for breakfast leaving the trolley in his garden.
