To apply for a job as a postie?

[Spiderpigspiderpig]

It would be a career change, but it looks fun
Plus the hours, for the local available job is 10:30-3pm 5 days a week, so seems to work well with school.
Although saturday will be tricky.

Oh, there's a vacancy in Brecon.

This is quite an entertaining account of the author's experience of moving to Cornwall and becoming a postie

Yeah the weekday hours are great, but the saturday working is putting me off applying.

Because unless you are very strong and physically fit enough to jog around your round it will take you much longer than they state. They expect you to walk constantly at 4mph, carrying 20kg over 1 shoulder.

I quit because I was promised full time hours for over a year and it never happened.

Dog alarms are never handed out in practice. Neither are snow chains.

Thanks fruit the shoulder bag would annoy me, can't you ise a rucksack?
My old postie used to drive my van down the hill for me in the snow!

No, because you can't access your mail easily from a rucksack.
