Posties

[Ducans elbow]

Out of interest: do you get employed as employee or as a self-employed subcontractor?

I was an employee,

They wear shorts in the middle of winter. Absolute wrong-uns

I've had the same postie for over 20 years. He loves his job. Still got no idea what his name is. After not knowing for this long it seems rude to ask him.

I want to be a postie
Whats the wages like?

I know about 3 lads who became posties. They always look totally chuffed when I see them about

Toying with the idea of getting back into life as a postie. After nattering to my, er, postie.

There must be a postie on here, or an ex postie.

Any thoughts? Early starts, early finishes? Do you sort/plan your own route? The ones I got to know when on the parcels all seemed sound, and pretty happy with the job fwiw.

Ta.

I drink with a couple of lads who are posties, one is full time and the other is part time.

The full time lad has his own round and the part time lad goes in with others and sorts the mail out for the full time lads, then goes out on the vans and does parcels or covers for lads on holiday / off sick.

I don’t think any of the part time lads ever get a round by the sounds of it.

The only moan they seem to have, is having to deliver those crappy leaflets / junk mail to every house - the post office gets paid to deliver them.

I can retire later this year, this may do me nicely so I'd be interested in the earners too...

Sake.

Thought this was a thread about pasties.

Posties though. A great bunch of lads. And lassies. And those who aren't sure. A great bunch of those who aren't sure. Its the 21st century damn it - what's the right thing to say? I only came here for a pastie.

The few posties I know or have known have always talked highly of it.

They end up in drains frequently *taps nose*
