That is rather poor but you can't force people to work for the postal service. One of the drawbacks of being remote

I think it’s more the way they are treated by head office. No overtime and if they don’t get the mail until lunchtime due to weather or the ferries broked they work till they finish which can be 8pm for nothing. No posties can come here to work as there’s no affordable accommodation

Our postal service has collapsed. The posties have all left apart from two so they are saying on faceache that if you want any post you have to go to the islands sorting office and collect your own. Only a 20 mile round trip then. And Christmas is not far away either.

Make a round trip and make a few drops? You could wear a special hat..

Cherry Fisherman's Friends are a bit odd.

Don't know Cherry or any of his friends, where did you meet him and do you know many Fishermen identifying as Cherries?

Looks like I might be about to get slung off the camp stove forum.
After about the twentieth post telling me off for daring to think of using Brasso to clean the brass tank, I let rip rather with a couple of links and a sarcastic comment about soaking one's tank in Brasso for 4 days.
Rather a navel regarding bunch methinks.
Call this my "Do you have a sense of humour" test.
