Delivering mail contributes - and its honest.

From where I'm sat thats more than can be said for a lot of the ways people have to make a living.

What is it you want ? Getting paid to snort powder off the backsides of supermodels ?

Man up,hold your head up and stop being such a teenage wannabe.

Why don't they get off there arses and get out there and become an entrepreneur? Or are all postmen losers in life?

How do you know that some of these posties don't have a nice little business on the side?? I sell spares on eBay (which obviously I can't promote on here!) and it is enough to earn me a second income so I can afford extras like a nice car or holiday. If you want to be an entrepreneur and run your own business with your staff, I say "Cool, go for it!" but understand that winners are always a part of a team NOT apart from a team!

We're not losers, we're representative of the normal ranges of the population.

"Hi, my name is Taurus, and I'm err umm err....a postman."

Well said Taurus, most of the first and last paragraphs apply to me.

I don't love the job but I do a lot of hours because it pays well, and lets me lead a decent life. It's nice to not feel worried about going to work because despite what many say, it's not stressful.

I am however trying to get my bases covered for the future.

That's a good post, Taurus.

I can recognise myself in some of what you have written.
