No, we believe you, anything is possible at Royal Mail.

I've:

- walked into hanging baskets
- slipped on those metal grates with the funny divot shapes all across them (they're the slippiest things ever)
- slipped on marble/marble-imitation driveways that are wet (even when it hasn't rained in yonks)
- crashed my bike into hedges when not concentrating
- had the bike fall on me when it refused to do what I was telling it to

But I've never walked into a lamp-post. Yet.

My bike never does as its told - I use my bike a lot (p&L) has'nt reached us yet). It's always falling over and i'm forever picking my crap up of the floor trying not to make eye contact with the cars driving past!!! But the worst is when it fell over and had my bag on the front and the mail (don't know how!!!) spilled over onto the road and the traffic had to stop whilst i picked it of the road (still not making eye contact - oh the shame!!!!). I shout at my bike a lot -STAY being my favourite - and if it has been naughty i've often been heard shouting "wait till i get you home"!!!.

I tripped over approaching someones door and ended up headbutting it really hard. Was lucky there wasn't any brass knockers. Ended up on the floor.
