Look what I saw yesterday

Post by JP1 »

We'd get in so much trouble leaving mail unattended like that. I couldn't see the postman anywhere, and I was there for quite a while too. The panniers are just secured with those plastic things. Then, on friday walking round my uni at 4pm I saw a TNT postman on his bike delivering to the buildings there. And last night in Covent Garden at about 5.15pm there was one left on the street in the same fashion as the photo. Delivering in the dark :shock:

I would definitely have had to vandalise it and steal the mail. This is WAR!

The best thing to do is just to put a bike lock on it and chain it to something immovable.
Less risk of being charged and hilarious to watch.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

they can't be, look at that one, no rust, still got a kickstand and bell and no dents.

I bet the brakes and gears are working too!
