Message fer Postie

Well now, Mrs TE has just been telling me about how she has greeted our postie some mornings in her negligee. Needless to say this got me imagination racing but we won't go into that!
But it did remind me to share the story from Bill Bryson about how friendly a place Yorkshire is. He recounted the fact that on many occasions you could be pottering about the house - then come into the kitchen and find the morning's post on the kitchen table. His only reservation about this obvious social benefit was that when he had been cooking breakfast, rather noisily at the cooker and had been indulging in a series of 'raised leg farts', it was a bit unnerving to turn around and find today's post on the table behind you.
Has anybody oop north experienced this and what has our Postie fraternity got to say about it?

Seventeen years in the job......it's all an urban myth!

About the same amount of service as me good mate da69ve here, and can honestly say I have rarely seen a negligee and certainly never seen even a nipple!
As for chucking mail onto kitchen tables.... wouldn't dare walk into someones house. I only know of one very rural delivery where that happens, and I always shouted out before i went in... guess that is where I am going wrong! Though if anyone wants to flash their postman it sure would make their day...
Though I must say, while on the subject, when on delivery and i see a computer screen on, through a window, I now always have a look to see if I can make out the SH "red/white/blue" banner.... ( do you da69ve?)

I had friends who worked a farm on Exmoor. The postie, baker, uncle tom cobbly an' all used to all come in the big kitchen and have a cuppa and a social.
In a really harsh winter with lots of snow the postie used to walk along the top of the hedgerows holding onto the telegraph wires 'cos the lanes were full of snow.
lol

:lol:
