I got bit last night - after 13 months of getting away with it - I was covering another postie's walk on docket, 3rd of 4 pouches, just bowling along, went through the gate, to the door on the side of the house ( ground floor maisonette ), door was wide open & as I drew level with it, two aggressive leapt up and charged, like The Light Brigade - sadly, I ain't Russian & I ain't got any guns, so I considered my somewhat limited options, and started a strategic withdrawl for the gate

( ok, tbh, I shat it, and pegged it for the gate

).
As I was doing that, it got me on the ankle, owners rushed outside, practically forced sugar water, tea and buscuits upon me

as I was trying to get hold of the evening screw to find out the SOP

& whilst waiting, the owners told me, it had happened before, they recieved a letter a few weeks ago, been threatened with having to pick up their mail from the caller's office, and hadn't got round to sorting out an exterior letter box
Still, on the upside, I now get a long weekend ( before next week's rotated long weekend ), I don't get the chance to deliver Harry Potter on Saturday (

Oh dear, what a shame, never mind! ), and I've got to see my rep when I get back to sort out the compo
