BIG difference here and in NZ is that you don't have a letterbox that drops mail inside your house. You have a post box at the end of your drive that mail goes into. Some of them you can lock, some you cannot, but it's a very insecure system thats why I use PO boxes for my important mail.

No I don't know my Postpersons name as I've never even seen him in 3 years. Could be because I leave at 07:15 and don't get back till 18:00.:) :)

I used to be a postman, don't trust any of them. They're all dodgy in one way or another.

I could tell you some great stories - underwear being stolen from women's washing lines, heroin being injected on the way to work, Post vans with sleeping bags in the back, post being thrown away or dumped to get away early.

Kids, ******s and drunks is how they describe themselves.

I love Mrs Bucket........ but we only ever get repeat after reapeat......

Anyway thanks for the giggle:D :D

I have never ever ever seen our posty. This must be one of the sadder things about living in Australia. It's like the dimise of the red phone box..

Love the YMCA bit Kath.
Everytime i pull anything out of our box i always get a bloody cockroach clinging to it , ohhhhhh i hate those , have put some pellets in there , will see if that works.

but when the junkmail includes money off vouchers for the fast food places - it's GRRRRRRRR888888888TTTTT

has anyone here in Oz actually got a mail box big enough for the letters!?? Whenever we have anything its on a day when its been chucking it down with rain and the letters are saturated!!!! Our postie is neither a she or a he, they only employ she-he's thats why they never get off their bikes, don't speak and NEVER take off there helmets:scared:

When I was growing up in London, not only did our postman not speak to us, he didn't even write to us. However, when I left hell street in my youth and settled in Oz, it was all different. Now, not only does the postie speak to us, she is like one of the family and we went to her wedding last week. It was a smashing do and you know what she said at the end? She said "I love you, Mr and Mrs Wilf". That is what you are coming to.

God bless us all here.

Oh Wilfie - you are a tease....
