Or even better, a postman who has a van and drives round to remote farmhouses, supping cups of tea and stuffing my face with cakes made by the farmers wife.
Anyway Nick, I am glad you have made a firm decision. That alone is a step in the right direction and I hope it all works out for you.

Regards, Chris

Heh! heh! Brilliant Chris - now that's what I wanted to say - but I'm still employed in the job (just!)
