My postman delivery parcel post this morning.

I am a "lazy, bone idle, stupid," etc. postman and today a delivery (well, two parts of two deliveries) that would have normally taken me about two hours took me three and a half because of the snow, and the back-breaking weight of everyone's christmas presents and their tiny credit-card sized illegibly scrawled cards which were probably meant for someone who died 10 years ago anyway. A good many of which are addressed to the wrong street, wrong part of town, or even wrong part of the country and we have to sort it out.

It's not like we all just sit in the mail centre laughing and opening your parcels. Delivery at this time of year, and in these conditions, is a pain in the rear.

I delivery my mail this morning, even got a tip.

Later, once the 'travel chaos' started falling, I felt the most wonderful joy in seeing everyone happy as Larry when I collected a shed load of parcels and mail today from my local post office. Last minute cards and gifts, just before closing time...

It never went to the mail centre though. :p

Not a chance in this weather. Transits and crappy Vauxhall Combi skips are not made for these conditions. A German woman asked me, in a rather exasperated manner. 'Why have you not been given snow tyres!? We do this in Germany.'

'This is Britain. We're too cheap for that.' was my amused reply. I might have mentioned the war at some point too, but I think I got away with it.

It then took me an hour to drive ten miles to get home and now I'm sitting here and looking at 5 or 6 inches of snow in my back garden. No relief delivery tomorrow and probably none on Monday either. Ho Ho Ho! :D

I used to be a postman and I know my current postman and I have a few packages which are presents. Luckily he only delivered them because they were mine / he knows me. Otherwise it would have been later in the week.
