Postmen uniform for Posties at the palace
i was chatting with a guy a few weeks (or was it months ago now
) that mentioned that while most RM staff have had the uniform casualised over the last 10-15 years to a fleece etc instead of actual jackets ... that Royal Mail staff that work at the delivery/sorting/dispatch office at Buckingham Palace still retain a more formal uniform...

Likely a proper tie, jacket with brass buttons and the old style hat with the brass cap badge I reckon. Oh and shiny crippling shoes, no Cat trainers.

One of the guys in our place has been mithering for a new fleece for ages without success, so he went rumaging in a cloak room upstairs and found a very old formal RM blazer complete with brass buttons, which he now instists on wearing all the time, looks hilarious.

Are you a professional Angler Calpsy and an amateur postman. You certainly spend a lot of time trying to get a bite.
