I know the answer already - so they can finish early and go to the pub, the footy, or back to bed but...

WHY DOES THE POSTIE COME AT 8am ON A SATURDAY MORNING??

I mean the rest of the week it can be anything fromm 11am to 2pm but on a Saturday? No nice and early.

During the week you want the post before you go to work, particularly so you dont get home to find a card saying 'we tried to deliver a packet/parcel/package today, please bring this card to ....' etc

On a Saturday you think you will enjoy a nice lay in bed, content in the knowledge you dont have to get up at any fixed time, and then the ing doorbell goes and its Mr Postie doing his daily delivery.
We have security entry on our flats - BUT HE ALWAYS RINGS MY BELL!
so i have to get up and let him in or risk not getting mail for 3 days (they are like that up here - hold a grudge!)


Actually nothing against posties really (except PP the enemy of PUDDING) as its some silly new policy that they dont do early morning post on weekdays - but dont do it on a saturday either

My aplogies to any postal workers here - no offence meant - but you can appreciate my irritation.

Only reason I can think is that your postie is a member of P.U.D.D.I.N.G. too and loves to p**s people off

Mmm... Frustrating...

You get mail on a Saturday?
We don't get a delivery on a weekend down under.
Exept the week before Christmas.

I think my postie is definatley a member of PUDDING and has read this as the last 2 days he has turned up at 9am!

We used to get an early morning post (about 7-9am) and a second delivery about 11am. Now they have justy combined the two and we get a post at an 'unspecified time' if you want an early post you have to pay extra for it. Not sure if this is just a trial introduction to this area or they have subjected the rest of the country to it yet or not.
