BIG HEAD POSTIE JUST CAN'T FIND A HELMET THAT FITS

Post by TrueBlueTerrier »

Why aren't Royal Mail Sourcing it and why don't he cut off

2:16 - 28 January 2008

Former Forest manager Brian Clough loved being Old Big 'Ead.

But a north Notts postman is struggling with his own colossal cranium - because he can't find a cycle helmet to fit.

Jason Clay, 40, from Sutton-in-Ashfield, has worked for Royal Mail for 20 years.

For the past three years, he has used his bike to deliver mail to homes across Sutton-in-Ashfield but a recent change in the company's health and safety rules means he's required to use a helmet.

But, despite exhaustive searches of major chain stores and the internet, the best Mr Clay has found is a 25in XXL helmet from America.

And even that doesn't fit.

It means he has to walk a new round with a trolley and it is taking an hour longer than usual.

He has contacted The Post to see if any readers can help him find a huge helmet.

"I have always had a problem with hats," said Mr Clay, from Chatsworth Street. I got fitted at a tailors once and he measured my head and said it was the biggest he'd ever seen."

We had three like this at one of our Dos. Management had to spend over £80 each to comply with the new regs.

How big does your head have to be? I have a large head and the RM helmet fits me (took a bit of adjusting and there is still plenty of room). :hmmmm
