Re: Protect your Posties.

I think they should be allowed to put junk mail in the bin by the gate!

I spray the letterbox with Dettol and wipe letters before opening wearing gloves.

I think they're doing a grand job, let's not criticise folk who are keeping the World turning. We'd soon moan if we had to go out and collect our mail.

It would not be 100% effective in all cases but it would be a hell of a lot better than the SFA that is done right now. Even our Hermes courier wears rubber gloves to deliver parcels.

Their career choice. They have a simple choice. Do it or leave. Our health is MUCH more important than the comfort of some unskilled worker.

Re: Protect your Posties.

Like the unskilled workers manning the supermarkets, emptying waste bins, delivering essential goods, keeping hospitals clean and patients fed.
Without the unskilled workers this and every country would grind to a very messy halt.

This WUM is getting tiresome.

Let's clear this up, hopefully once and for all.

I'm NOT a "WUM" - a Wind Up Merchant.

People might not like my opinions, values, morality --- anything. Ask me if I care.

I do try to avoid blatant obscenities and gross profanities, but if I express an opinion then it is my opinion about a thing.

But one thing that I always avoid is to be rude or insulting to any person on this forum.

Re: Protect your Posties.

Ours leaves our mail in the greenhouse if nobody's around. He always come round the yard anyway as he likes to say hi to the horses, and often has a carrot or two for them..
