We all know this job has turned to shite, it's a shame because it did used to be a very enjoyable job. I don't miss the early bedtimes at 2000 though.

Whenever I bump into an OLD Postie who starts going on about what a great job it is I just say, "If you haven't been a Postie within the last 10 years ... You haven't got a clue mate"!
There is an old ex postie on my round who is about 90 who keeps saying he would jump at the chance of getting back in!

That’s the trouble when you get old two things happen one your memory goes and the other????oh s**t I can’t remember

Sounds about right. You couldn’t make it up could you.

Years ago you could easily get batteries for your torch now they have to take them from the DOMS back and he will stop working!

At least without battery's it gets off to a better start. The old bulky torches always had corroded battery's in them!

Right then,

I just ordered mine. I still have one of those Royal Mail egg-shaped ones I used for the past couple of winters, but I'll give this newfangled LED flashlight a tryout.
