[Politics] Do You Give Your Postie a Christmas Tip?

[Live by the sea]

We have a lovely postie - gave him £10 last year , will double it for this difficult year .

 

[SK1NT]

I don't know how our poste completes his round. The friendliest, loveliest guy. Chats to everyone. Knows all the families names. Infact my kids look like him too (joke)

Always give an xmas card with a tenner in. Have done for years.

more likely to get an envelope stuffed with all the elastic bands they leave on the driveway.

My rechargeable rear bike light jumps out of it's fitting (crap design) if not secured by two strong elastic bands so it's great for me.

I will this year as we have an understanding now. That is not to ring then run rather than wait a few seconds and make me go into the post office because he wants to rush his round.
The milkman will definitely get one as it is a more challenging job and he has even given us a Christmas card.

Fell for that one didn’t you!

Big box of chicks. Top man and Albion supporter!

 

[AlastairWatts]

Yeah - he's a jovial ex-alcoholic over weight bearded Muslim, who's always got time for a wisecrack. Great fun, and looks embarrassed when he has to hand over obious bills. Great guy. Usually a tenner.

Seeing as we’re all done with football, it’s time to move onto more important things - if you do tip your postman/woman, how much do you usually give? (advance apologies for intrusive question)

Is your postie the next door neighbour?

 

[Brighthelmstone]

As my postie is my brother he gets sweet FA!, other than the copious amounts of coffee/tea/food he helps himself to each day when I'm not here (think he's lost weight since I have worked from home since March)

 

[R. Slicker]

No, Most Posties are Twats

Yeah it was so subtle, I would have left a Direct debit mandate out if I was him.

Thankfully not mate . I'd probably end up with Swansman's post via Stockholm!

 

[CorgiRegisteredFriend]

I always tip the Postie at Christmas. He always seems genuinely pleased and was one of those keeping the fabric of society intact over lockdown.

 

[AmexRuislip]

No

No one gives me a tip at work.

I thought you were self employed

 

[swindonseagull]

I thought you were self employed

I will however give you a tip.......don't eat yellow snow.

 

[PTC Gull]

Usually its Number 3 in the 2:30 at Ascot on Saturday.............I'll get me coat

 

[Chicken Run]

Yup, good lad our regular postie

Scottish Tom is the postie round Blakers Park, does he deliver to you?

 

[Rambo]

Anyone noticed that there are a lot more women posties these days?

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Scottish Tom is the postie round Blakers Park, does he deliver to you?

Don't think so, doesn't sound Scottish

 

[Chicken Run]

Don't think so, doesn't sound Scottish

Ahh Scottish Tom def it sounds Scottish, even though he’s lived down south for over 40 years [emoji23]
