I wouldn't mind delivering to Suzi Perry the TV and Motogp presenter :Very Happy , talking of famous people did give Cheryl Baker ex-Bucks Fizz her mail once a few years ago on delivery, didn't ask to 'see some more' Eurovision style!

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

Used to deliver to N.U.F.C., Alan Shearer used to get a lot of knitwear from old dears, bless 'em.
Linda Lucardi was in pantomine in Theatre Royal, once asked to me if she could give me a letter to post. I just stood there like a prat? Used to have a 5 foot poster of her on my bedroom wall, when younger, much to the disapproval of my mother. Through she was even nicer in real life.
Used to deliver to Metro Radio Station, seen loads of stars, Tom Jones-have you seen how many people go round with him. Kylie very impressed. Several members of S7 club or something like that, seemingly they split up to do more than one interview at a time. And my most memberable Billy Piper who I grabbed by the shoulders and moved out of the way, I thought she was some kid in reception, have you seen how small she is, her agent seem to be a 15 year old kid, I watched in amazement as the two of them got into a car and he drove.

Delivered to Roy Keane for a while in my days at Altrincham office, never saw him though. Also delivered to local news celebrity Bob Greaves. He was nice enough.
