Hi Guys
I agree, it was a great time, Summer time was the best, driving through the lane's in the old grey light weight suites and then the winter with my
white PVC jacket and black leggings which leaked around the knees. The
water proofs in them days were second hand , but we still raced to counter
when the buzzer went off to get out on the road and deliver.
Also once a week the Postmaster would come and find us for a chat, as we
played an important put in the service, but also in the community, as we
were a vital link with the ferry's in the old days around Folkestone and
Dover. When the weather changed in the channel and the boat was running late, all members of the crew where notified by telegram, offend making us late and run over, but we still enjoyed.
regards
Pat
