Your countersignatory’s occupation won’t on its own mean your application will be successful. But you should always try to get a countersignatory who has ‘good standing’ in your community.

Not a postie though.

A guy I spoke to at the Passport Office told me no but he's only an agency worker on zero hour contract. He said a Sub-Postmaster could sign it.
So I took it to the landlord of my local pub. He'll sign anything if there's a drink in it

There's no such thing as a PHG anymore, everyone is an OPG
