Most delivery staff are good but both Sainsbury and the Royal Mail are brilliant. Sainsbury came Saturday and for £1 my groceries were delivered to my kitchen. Their delivery staff are always cheerful and helpful. I'm well organised and ready for them and we always have a cheery chat.
The posties from Royal Mail are always lovely too. They know mine is a dog free house and there is a seat by my front door which is good as it takes me a while to get to the door. My recliner chair can be a bit slow getting me to ground level. I always apologise and they always tell me not to worry.
I had a little giggle on Saturday as when I went to the door the postie was half way down the drive. Apparently the cat from Number 12 was lurking. It is known to all the local posties as it attacks them. I suppose it makes a change from dogs.
We once had a pair of 'attack cats', brother and sister. Luckily they liked people, it was dogs that came into our garden - their garden! - that had to beware as they used a pincer strategy and attacked from both sides...
ReplyDeleteCunning cats! This cat apparently only disliked posties.
DeleteIt’s good to hear that delivery people give you time to get to the door and also like to chat to you. I have a vivid picture of the postie’s avoidance of the cat-I’m wary if them too. Catriona
ReplyDeleteTHey are all lovely.
DeleteAn attack cat? How rare is that?
ReplyDeleteHopefully very rare! This one is apparently famous (infamous?) with all the local posties.
DeleteYou have some lovely delivery people. Over here, they tend to leave the parcels on the door step (or by the mailbox) and the letters are put in the mailbox.
ReplyDeleteNumber 12 has had to resort to a mailbox near the gate!
