In the United States, no one talks about postal workers like that . . . mostly because several postal workers have pulled out automatic weapons and shot up various locations. In the United States when someone goes crazy and does something violent, its called "going postal'.
There were times when I could have 'gone postal' myself mate!. One occasion whilst struggling up a steep hill in deep snow and carrying two full bags, a member of the public approaches me and asks if I had any jump leads!. JUMP LEADS!! I'M A POSTMAN NOT A BLOODY CAR MECHANIC!!!^&grin
Rob,
My apologies. When I referred to 'part time', I was only referring to your postal service (service, in the loosest possible sense of the word). In no way was I suggesting that you are anything but a full time idle, drunken, criminal, good for nothing member of our society.
Now thats more like it!!^&grin
Rob is my role model , what I aspire to be.
One tries to be a role model mate!

Guys, let me give you an example of what your average Postman deals with on a day to day basis. I worked near a place called Wembley (of football fame) which is on the outskirts of London. One day whilst delivering I was stopped by a member of the public who asked me if I knew where Sheffield Street was?. I racked my brains , for the life of me I didn't know which round it was on, I was very embarrassed as we are meant to know every street in the area. I apologized for not being able to help to which he replied;
' Oh no problem, I know its in Manchester somewhere and I'm going there next week' !!!{eek3}{eek3}
MANCHESTER !! ITS 200 HUNDRED MILES AWAY!!!!!
They actually think we know every road in the country!{eek3}
Public rant over, normal service resumed^&grin
