Confessions of a Postman -- the book

[Caniel]

The crewbus was meant to come looking for me, but they probably reasoned to themselves: he’s new – he won’t be ready, f**k him, let’s not bother the few minutes looking for him, let’s get home early. By Thursday I was putting the last letter into the last letterbox on a road of terraced houses. I could hear the straining of a diesel engine picking up speed, I could hear the grinding of gears being changed badly, I recognized that sound, it was the last plane out of Stalingrad and it was heading right my way. I ran down the drive and gave them the signal, you know, the secret signal: the one where you wave your hands in the air and scream STOP! The crewbus hurtled past. Maybe they used a different signal? I was so close that when the bus swept past I could see the driver and crew in profile; I could even see that their neck muscles were tensed from the effort of not looking in my direction. Bastardo! As the crewbus vanished into the whiteness I fell to my knees, arms still raised to the sky. Barbers Adagio for Strings was playing in my head. Customers gathered around me with p739s in their hands…

That made me lol

rainmaker7 - I've followed a couple of the links to the free chapters you've put in this thread. I have two issues with what has been written.

1. You say it's fiction but it obviously isn't. It is clearly fact dressed as fiction. Totally different. You are giving a false impression of Royal Mail nationwide. Most of the incidents you outline I do not recognise. To be overly frank, you are f***ing Royal Mail colleagues over nationally by portraying the very worst of, presumably, London as the norm.

2. It is very badly written.

I'm just thankful the general public are unlikely to read it.

Thank goodness someone else thinks the same. I was beginning to think I was the only one critical of this piece of rubbish.

How many copies have you sold?

About half a dozen but that's mainly posties I used to work with who want to make sure that they are not in the book (and when they find that they are not in the book they will want to know why they are not in the book).

The average self-publisher earns about £320.

I might send a out a few free copies to board members (but just the nice ones), I got about 500 in the garage -- in amongst all the door 2 door leaflets.

Well you could kind of get your own back on your tormentors from your office,maybe you could get some of the 500 delivered and possibly alot more as D2D then you would not only be keeping posties in work but be benefitting your local community with your wonderful work of `fiction`,or you could just save the bother and use them as mulching for your neighbours roses.

Better still print it on soft 3ply and have a picture of a Labrador on the front cover and leave it in supermarket foyers at the free newspaper stand. I think it's safe to say that at least the first 3 pages would be read.

I wonder if Rainmaker has sold the film rights yet or got rid of the 500 copies in his garage?

It looks like he's going for the sequel GM - "Confessions of a Knobhead"................500 more copies will even out the space in his garage - come to think of it he may get more sold than the original. Obviously it bombed.
