I fart loudly and often. Seems to do the trick.

I carry a 2m long stick... anyone that comes close gets a poke with the pointy end!

Nah! I wouldn’t give Amazon the fluff from my belly button. You can buy it direct from

I don't really rate the production qualities of the East European Versions .... however it's got to be better than a load of Builders Dust Masks purchased from Screwfix.

Nice, dooby. I see you have 'Postman's Leg Syndrome'. (One leg shorter than the other). Comes to us all, eventually.

Just wait till the CWU get a hold if this!
I can see the flyer now....

"Posties...Delivering Through The Apocalypse" for the title.

Swap the backdrop with some ruined buildings and a few lightning bolts (we like them!)

Then the caption:
"Neither radiation, nor biological pathogen, nor chemical hazard, can stay your Postie from the swift completion of their appointed rounds".

Like what you did with the original quote ssdd.

Thought I'd post the original in case some of colleagues aren't aware of The United States Postal Creed......."Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds"!

Yeah, well I noticed CWU had used it in their latest 'flyer'. What I really want to know is if dooby has actually worn this throughout a day's work? Go on dooby, tell me you have, and describe your experiences....

I’ve gotta be honest, I took it all to work today but I’m down in the South West and it was a tad warm today. It’ll cool off again next week so I’ll get it worn and keep you all updated

Cornish sunset!!! The heater is because I’m running out of heating oil and there’s a back log on deliveries.... that’s living in the sticks for you
