This book is a follow-up to Martin Wigmore's 'Every Letter Tells a Story', in which he described the life of a rural postman in Leicestershire.
Martin Wigmore has been a postman in the Leicestershire village of Barrow-on-Soar for nearly 30 years. In this memoir we hear what the job entails and how it has changed over the years. The author describes some of 'the most important people' - the customers - their hilarious escapades and their tragedies. He gives affectionate portraits of 'the weird and wonderful Post Office staff', their struggles with inclement weather, flashers, a swarm of angry bees, aggressive dogs, ostriches (oh yes!), and the thieves who break into post offices or steal from the post. We learn to distinguish between 'jogging' and 'dogging'. Above all we see the local force of posties working day in, day out as part of their community.
