Wow. It’s very interesting / illuminating to hear from a postie on this issue. Thanks for all your years of service, for what it’s worth I respect the fuck out of you. It’s such an important job.
My usual postlady is fantastic but recently we’ve had a new guy, he returns the cheery ‘hello’ with a glare and a grunt. And I presume is responsible for the recent cockups… but I’ll temper my annoyance because from the sounds of it, they’re massively taking the piss out of you all.
