Postman Pat

He gets a plane, helicopter, off road vehicle and a van..... And still it takes him a full day to deliver one parcel (usually opened and retrieved from the sea/a nest/ melted) and then he has the AUDACITY to claim "Special delivery mission accomplished". It's a parcel mate. It's not some sort of amazing achievement. Look at all the parcels Ben deals with and you can't deliver more than one.

He needs to be sacked. I bet Ben would do the job much better and quicker.

DS (2) isn't really that into PP. 'no mummy' when I put it on in the morning, I was thinking that was strange but now I'm wondering if he's actually extremely smart and has all this sussed

There was an old episode of Postman Pat that annoyed me though, it's not just the new ones that get on my wick. It was called Postman Pat's Foggy Day or something like that. He goes to the post office to pick up the post but it's not arrived so the Goggster makes him a brew and offers him a biscuit. He picks up a biscuit just as the post arrives. Then he makes a big song and dance about how he can't have a biscuit because he's got to go and deliver the letters. Just shove the bloody biscuit in your gob, Pat, stop being such a martyr!

Ohh I am so glad we haven't to endure Pat the twat anymore. He is so bloody gormless. If Sara Clifton was mnetter we'd all be telling her to LTB. He forgets picnics, fannies about with one parcel a day, and then always ends up fucking it all up.
I miss Miss Hubbard. She is the spit of my mum.
We are now on to Woolly and Tig, but I have found Auntie Shona's OH to be very easy on the eye.

Let us not forget he couldn't even take off his postal outfit for his wedding day too. His WEDDING DAY.

I'm finding myself over invested in the PC Selby/Ted Glen/Dr Gilbertson love triangle. Even though she's clearly out of their league.

walchesterweasel · 21/02/2017 22:16

At last ! A Postman Pat thread . I can finally share this clipping from my local paper advertising Pat's show at the theatre...sounds like a sell-out

TheaSaxby · 21/02/2017 22:31

I'm worried about Charlie Pringle's geordie/Welsh dad. Bet Pat inadvertently knocked him down a well whilst delivering a swarm of bees to Amy.

No user! Did he really wear his uniform to his own wedding!? Like he's an officer in the RAF or something? What a bellend.

Notapodling · 22/02/2017 07:03

My xh had a theory that everyone in the village knows exactly how useless Pat is and his delivery service is just a kindly conspiracy to keep him occupied and happy and out of everyone else's hair while they get on with the important stuff in a "We've got an important function to plan, so we'll send Pat to collect something 'essential' knowing it'll take him at least the whole day and he'll think he's helping while we do the real setting up'

In the movie when he's singing at first they do a little montage and show his wedding day. She's in a lovely dress, he's in his postal outfit.

DH and I have this conversation every morning. Pat is useless!

Today Greendale are spending their fortunes on some sort of wild west party. Pat has to deliver a bucking bronco. I'm sure this will go well

ItsThatBeverleyMacca · 22/02/2017 07:34

Also can Greendale Constabulary give PC Selby a new car? That 1950s one he uses can't be safe.

Pumpkin is the WORST horse ever. Arsehole.

TheaSaxby · 22/02/2017 07:35

That reminds me I need to call the vet, my toaster is on the blink.

RandomDent · 22/02/2017 07:37

When his phone rings, he answers "Hello, Special Delivery Service, Pat Clifton speaking". Why bother? It's always Ben.
He always opens the parcels! And then uses the contents! Surely a disciplinary.

CesareBorgiasUnicornMask · 22/02/2017 07:43

We recently moved to a new flat with no tv point or internet for Netflix (thankfully now remedied). The PP movie is one of the few things we have on DVD so we watched it EVERY DAY (sometimes more than once to keep DS occupied while I was unpacking) for two bloody weeks until the internet was installed. I quite liked it by the end .

But yeah Pat's an eejit - I had quite a lot of sympathy with the baddie from head office pointing out his inefficiencies!

GoofyIsACow · 22/02/2017 07:47

this is what I imagine it is really like... NSFW or if children are watching!

Pat did NOT save the day there! Dr Gilbertson did!

I don't put PP on for all of these reasons. It's too shit.

HempMunchingVeganBore · 22/02/2017 08:11

walchester What's the name of the theatre please? Can't make it out. Sounds like something I'd love to go to, unless it's a spoof advert?! 😄

MGFM · 22/02/2017 10:43

Despite all of his bad points and there are many, I do like the subliminal message of team work, helping people and never giving up. Better than selfish peppa pig

Gardenbirdy · 22/02/2017 21:14

ObviousChild All the scaling is screwed - if it was real life Jess would be as big as an Alsatian!
Quote from Mrs goggins this morning: "ooh it's not like Pat to be late". What, apart from every single day?!

TheHouseOfIllRepute · 22/02/2017 21:19

DS had a CD of the stories in the car
My favourite was Ted taking a parcel to the post office
Mrs Goggings said Och Ted what a whopper you can't put that on my counter
Cue the sound of Ted slapping his whopper down
DS couldn't understand why we sniggered
