Any possibility of chalking it up yet, Majella?
The UK is a different culture. Far more different than you may think. You describe yourself as a fan of British humour. OK, but that does not qualify you to have spoken as long on the subject as you have.
I implore you ask my wife, Wifeling GG. Having spent half her life in the US half here, she just shook her head when I told her of this thread.She laughed at the ribbing just like I did.
Helena nailed it just now. I have elsewhere and, dagnabit, the fact that Teresa posted this thread laughingly should speak volumes.
His job was discharged as defined and he did so while engaging a client in a way that left both smiling.
That you would have done differently and that you have been insulted before aren't especially relevant. You can't somehow prove us all wrong by keeping on at it. Because it's a simple matter of fact that those of us who've defended the postman are NOT wrong.
At the beginning of this thread myself, Helen and Rhoda all continued in a similar vein to the posty. As did Bobbi and others later on, trying to have a laugh together, even at one another's expense.
Your continued dissent just drags the mood down and you're still wrong.
