postman uniform

[Kirstyhev]

why do postmen / women not wear uniforms anymore?

[CheekyChops]

They do in Stoke on Trent!

[chazza]

Yes!

[Kirstyhev]

They don't in my area (Cumbria). Ocassionly, they wear a Royal Mail fleece but when it's sunny they just wear jeans and a t-shirt!

[grifter]

i work for royal mail and the reason they do not wear a uniform is that they are agency staff and not employed by royalmail.

[meltoadhall]

they do in lincolnshire

[nightmare]

They do in North Yorkshire

My postwoman does not wear a uniform - in fact she does not wear anything at all - and she looks like Jennifer Ellison. Not only that, but she delivers the post to me when I am still in bed........




OPPS sorry - that was just a dream.

We have a very smart uniformed post lady who actually pushes the letters in the box so we don't have soggy mail !!

[miseryguts1]

they do in surrey

[munchie63]

as per an earlier answer - they should ALL wear the uniform provided. That's how you know they're your postman.
However, more and more casuals are being used to cover holidays / sickness, and they wear their own clothes.
It's a far from ideal situation.

They do in Birmingham, perhaps putting their uniform on is the reason why the post is always so late. LOL.

[matty1]
