I am so glad to hear that the postal workers are more respected there.
Of course my husband has complaints because it is almost impossible for them to fire any worker who is really doing a bad job...or whatever...because of the unions.
But, most of them work very long hours and are nice people...one should really get to know their mail delivery person..because that person knows the neighborhood..and can watch for strangers better than most.
Did you enjoy the postman pat link you should show it to hubby LOL
