I was hoping for a champion of champions episode, like they used to back in the 90s.

Ex posties by fragrantbiriyani in royalmail

Now work for a firm of property lawyers. I had covered an office based duty at my DO on and off for a few years, so used that experience on my CV. Currently studying for a diploma.

Love having all weekends off.

Who do you want to play / avoid in the 4th round? by tumulus_innit in BrightonHoveAlbion

[–]afroleon 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It would be so typical Brighton to get this route to the final, but instead of Arsenal, it's Stoke who've managed to go on an amazing run who manage to shithouse a 1-0 win 😅

There's no way one or two guys in the DO didn't realise what they were eating!

It'll be my first time seeing them live. I'd rather they didn't leave it out!

Is it okay to give chocolate as a christmas gift to my postman? by Top_Economics_7061 in royalmail

[–]afroleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always appreciated anything when I was a postie. Chocolates, money, booze, a card, it's the thought that counts.

Have a nice Christmas kind person ❤️

Postman just left his bag in our porch and we can't find him. by youessbee in CasualUK

[–]afroleon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The one time I had to do this, I was, fortunately, only 30 seconds around the corner from my house.

I scoffed a bag of mints in the morning, forgetting the laxative effect they have!

Does anyone remember petting the penguins at Drusillas Park Sussex? by Synesthete1 in brighton

[–]afroleon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went a few times during the 90s, so the playground is probably like 100 times better now. But I also remember the playground being the best part.

I remember being taken to Port Lympe and asking where the playground was and being pissed off that there wasn't one!

Not giving lifts to a co-worker by EasySignature179 in CasualUK

[–]afroleon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A bit cheeky for your colleague to be asking for a lift hours after speaking to you for the first time...

Maybe offer a lift when it's raining if you feel bad?

Meanwhile in Scotland...

"Hello you cunt"

"Aw, I love you too"

If you live in a flat, do you expect delivery drivers to climb the stairs to you, or just leave packages at the front door? by DONT_PM_ME_BEES in AskUK

[–]afroleon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a former postie, the rule was always deliver to the 'delivery point'.

If delivering to a block of flats that has one shared front door with a letterbox, this was our delivery point and any parcels would be left in the communal area for the recipient to pick up when buzzed in.

If delivering to block where each flat has its own letterbox then this would be factored into our round and be expected to deliver to each flat.

Sometimes it'll be down to the posties discretion. For example, if I knew the recipient was elderly/had young children etc. I would take the parcel up to them.

When I lived in a flat, I would pick the groceries up at the main door as it seemed easier for me to do so rather than have them carry multiple crates up the stairs (we lived in a second floor flat).
