to think that Postman Pat should be sacked?

The idiot.
Everyday he makes some ridiculous mistake and then abuses his relationships with the townspeople to fix his error - and then gets loads of praise.
Yes, well done, Pat. You f*cked up and get congratulated when you manage to fluke a fix.

How did this man ever get promoted? He almost always loses or destroys the post!

Don't even get me started on the ginger asbo kid, the illegitimate child of Fireman Sam! Wink

And his raging incompetency often means that a helicopter is used to deliver one parcel - ONE parcel! Will that survive the drive to find greater efficiencies within the postal service?

beccajoh · 22/06/2014 17:08

He's also always still having his toast at 9am. He's VERY late for work every day!

3of5 · 22/06/2014 17:10

Oh my god! Yes! He is the shittest postie ever!

What about people who have allergies? I imagine most of the post ends up covered in cat hair too.

Yes!!! We have this discussion nearly every morning. His line manager needs to be putting something in writing.

HolyDrinker · 22/06/2014 17:16

I hate it when he congratulates himself for solving problems that are entirely of his own making. Or uses post office resources to run errands for villagers that have fuck all to do with his job.

And he should stop hanging out with Ted. The man is a calamity.

YANBU.

postmanpatscat · 22/06/2014 21:21

No, definitely not. How will he feed me with no income?

Happydaysatlast · 22/06/2014 21:27

Personally I preferred fireman Sam back in the day when mine used to watch.

It was the lovely rich welsh times of John Alderton.

Mmmmm sexy. Pat is ugly.

LadyRabbit · 22/06/2014 21:38

YANBU. And after sacking him for incompetence, I think the fine people of Ponty Pandy should also have a moment of reckoning and pop round the fire station and demand that Fireman Sam and his cohorts go on a health and safety training day. Someone should also remove the toaster from the Fire Station kitchen, and then insist that Norman Price be given an ASBO. That would reduce the fire incidents of the town by about 80% I reckon.

Kasterborous · 22/06/2014 21:43

Trouble is he'd probably never mange to deliver the letter that sacks him!

Kasterborous · 22/06/2014 21:44

Oh no HolyDrinker you can't cut Ted Glen out I love him and his Yorkshire accent, makes me think of home Smile

fishybits · 22/06/2014 21:47

YANBU

Jess is clearly the brains of the outfit and would make a far better postie than Pat. I'm also pretty certain he's fathered half the children in Greendale.

ProudAS · 22/06/2014 22:02

You think Pat is bad what about the Trumpton firemen?? Wouldn't know a fire if it burnt their backsides!

VampyreofTimeandMemory · 22/06/2014 22:04

and how the fuck has he got a helicopter? He works in a small village. What's wrong with a pushbike?!

dreamingofwineandcheese · 22/06/2014 22:12

YANBU. This makes me mad too!! DH thinks I'm mad to get so wound up about it but it winds me up everytime I watch it!

BadgersNadgers · 22/06/2014 22:53

He should be shot. That documentary about him is a celebration of shitness. How many times has he opened someone's mail, destroyed it (or got that fucking cat to destroy it), made a half arsed attempt to fix it then presented himself as some kind of fucking hero? The people of Greendale are the stupidest stupid twats anywhere in this universe and the universes we haven't yet discovered. They're cunts and he's the king cunt.

And Norman Price wants a boot in the fucking face.

On balance, YANBU.

SueDNim · 22/06/2014 22:57

If you think Pat should be sacked, then you need to see the film. I don't want to spoil the plot for you, so I won't go into detail.

"The people of Greendale are the stupidest stupid twats anywhere in this universe and the universes we haven't yet discovered. They're cunts and he's the king cunt."

As fishybits wrote up post, they are all inbred. The only residents of greendale who aren't sired by Pat are Ajay's family (The token Indian family added to be PC.)

BadgersNadgers · 22/06/2014 23:03

How fucking stupid would you have to to shag Pat in the first place?

mumteedum · 22/06/2014 23:05

Objection are you me? :) we say this every morning. How comes the pc plod doesn't ever do him for driving vehicles without permission and insurance like quad bikes etc? And whenever it's a birthday delivery it turns up with pat using it and they're thrilled?!

Nerd fact...did you know meera's voice is archie panjabi aka kalinder from the good wife?

ReallyTired · 22/06/2014 23:05

"How fucking stupid would you have to to shag Pat in the first place?"

Perhaps the alternative is shagging the sheep!

BadgersNadgers · 22/06/2014 23:16

Shag, marry, push off a cliff:

Postman Pat
Bungle from Rainbow
Jeremy Clarkson

I think marry Jeremy Clarkson (think of the cars and money, you wouldn't have to speak to him or anything), stag bungle (there could be a Calvin oleic model under there) and push postman pat off a cliff for being so crap

But what about the Fat Controller? The accident rate on his railway is appalling. And how can it possibly make sense to brick up a perfectly good engine in a tunnel?
