Call this chilly? Postie still bares his legs despite blizzard

It’s long been rumoured that the hardy team delivering post in all weathers are engaged in a chilly challenge with each other to see who can carry on working for longest with bare legs.

Posties in shorts are seen out in all weathers – and as this picture shows, the little matter of a bitter blizzard isn’t going to make them rethink their warm weather wardrobe choices.

Kate Thompson snapped this smiling postie in Warners End this morning. “I think the hat is a bit over the top,” she joked.

To be frank Image I think its a matter of personal choice and we have more things to worry about than if someone does or does not wear shorts in winter. If I was younger and not prone to aches and pains I would probably wear shorts.

If you can't say anything sensible why bother,sometimes it is best not to reveal how daft you really are.

Nope on no ones side, I try to see all sides and say things as I see them. This is more of me disliking people being put into boxes, everyone is an individual and should be treated as such. Thats the side I am on.

Oh and I think MDM was ribbing you rather than anything else, I don't think he was being serious.
