Where can i find a real life Postman Pat?

[mckenzie]

Quite a few years ago my friend arranged, as a birthday treat for her son, for Postman Pat to come to their house in his little red van with Jess the cat and deliver some cards and presents. I still remember the birthday boys face, it truly was a picture.

I'd like to see about arranging this for my son's birthday but my friend doesn't have the details anymore of the company concerned.

Do any Mums Netters know of anyone who does this? Doesn't even have to be Postman Pat I guess. Fireman Sam would work just as well. or Bob the Builder.

Thanks guys

Whereabouts are you? There seems to be a company in Devon. Not sure what they do but sounds promising:
Postman Pat's Personal Deliveries Rose Cottage Harcombe Sidmouth Devon EX10 0PR Tel: 01395 597505

unfortunately I'm nowhere near Devon Soupdragon but thanks for the details though and I will call them as they might no of others who do the same thing huh. Worth a try.

Thanks again

Oops, of course I did mean

they might 'know' of others.

I thought it would have been rather lucky if you were in Devon!! Google didn't come up with anything else apart from lots of visits from PP to fairs, schools etc. Clearly there are lots of PPs out there!

This has a Postman Pat thing, about a third of the way down the list. If it isn't right for you, they may be able to tell you of someone else.

Sue, it's an ELEPHANT! (Called Welephant. Or Wellyphant? Anyway it was last time I saw it.)

In Oxford we have two battery powered vehicles - one of which used to home a black and white cat. They were just like PP's - in fact we still have them 'cept the nice postie's gone ... and taken Jess with him

thanks all. Suew, i love the idea of the fire brigade coming to his party. Do you really think they might do that if I offered to make a donation to a charity on their behalf? I shall certainly look into it. I used to have a regular running route that went past our local fire station and got caught short one day and borrowed their toilet - some of the guys there were dream boats!!
