The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Part-Time Postman

Post by FlashMagic7 »

Hi everyone,

I'm a recent starter and have decided to keep a blog documenting the secret adventures of a postman. I was struggling for ideas on how to publicise it and figured that a Royal Mail forum would be a good place to start! :Very Happy

Please 'like' my facebook page, check out the blog, read it, follow it, comment on it (constructive/anecdotal only please!) and spread the word to your colleagues and friends! Parts will be written in layman's terms to ensure the blog is accessible to civilians but I'm sure many of the posts I intend to make about topics such as overtime, driving, dogs, weather and Christmas will ring true with a lot of people.

Please, please click the link below and away you go!

Regards,

The Part-Time Postman

That's absolutely fine, each to their own! Don't just put it down straight away though, give it a read first, you never know :)

Best of luck with this.

Good, entertaining writing is a nice skill to have.

Though it's a difficult subject matter to flog to Joe Public.

What kind of adventures do think a postman gets up to?

I've been doing this job 8 years and the biggest adventure i've had is doing the miss sort run.....!

thanks for the encouragement, I agree that it is a difficult topic but the friends I've explained it to found it amusing (perhaps because they know me), so I thought there is no harm in giving it a go!

I've been on deliveries for just over four months now and I've already come up with a multitude of things to write about besides the usual miss-sort run... perhaps I'm just adventure prone?! Give it a read anyway and you can find out for yourself!

Cheers mate and regards!

It scans like a Taurus88 post (and he has been curiously quiet of late), but I could be wrong....

I think ft is thinking of another poster we haven't heard from in quite a while, but I too could be wrong.

Is this surreptitious mockery or am I too joining the growing list of people who could be wrong?!

Not mockery,
Your writing style reminds me of someone is all.
You could be he,he could be you,you may never have met...it matters not.
We will all be wrong in the end. :chuckle
