@cyp_toon my dad got me all their autographs when he worked for McAlpine's when they were doing work on the concrete stands in the Gallowgate end. 72/73??? i think.

@CWUnews maybe the money spent on this crap you could have gave to us when we were on strike. you have know idea how angry us postman are.

[david @redvanman12]

@CWUnews you haven't told us anything just like when we were on strike the last time, so read everything , where is it that we can read. i got my vote today and have had nothing about the agreement. our reps have been trying to understand what you have given them then you change it crazy

[david @redvanman12]

@Channel4News You made a claim in your report on the news tonight about Sunderland that most of the north east voted to leave in the Brexit vote especially mentioning Newcastle . Not true Newcastle voted remain. Check your facts. Don’t tar everybody in Newcastle with what Sunderland thinks.

@CWUnews @liambyrnemp I have never not been able to enter our office because the so called ‘parcels’ have blocked the door. Ha ha ha honestly😂

@steeljawscribe @Hush_Kit What a book

[david @redvanman12]

@jabber_gom30508 @Hush_Kit Great book

[david @redvanman12]

@TomcatJunkie @Hush_Kit I had that book, I wish I still had it 😬

[david @redvanman12]

@NeilGollygosh @thelonningsguy It is true, if you worked as a postman at a delivery office then you didn’t have to have the speed, within reason, but sorting offices were different they worked like a factory on a production line. They are postal workers not postman.

[david @redvanman12]

@thelonningsguy The TPO’s had the fastest sorters and you were selected if you passed the speed test. And they were quick. We had a person who started as a telegram boy at 15 and when he became a postman he was the fastest sorters in our office.

[david @redvanman12]

@thelonningsguy I started as a cadet and we had to pass the sorting test. 500 live letters in 20 mins with only 5 mistakes. That was in 1982. I went on the Grade 1987 similar test but you had to learn two ‘ roads’ in a week. This was in sorting offices not delivery offices.

[david @redvanman12]

@PaulHar10765609 @thelonningsguy @atticusfinch104 There was a test you had to do and it was timed. 500 letters in 20 mins with only 5 mistakes. That was for the SOPD (sorting outward primary) Same test as a Postman Higher Grade but you had to cover two Roads e.g Welsh and Irish, Scottish one and two, midland roads etc. 1982.

@CWUnews Is this a joke? You must be taking the piss😡

[david @redvanman12]

@wendyloued @RoyalMail that's probably why we got 2nd class stamps for xmas instead of first. the new owners are getting a bit tight.

[david @redvanman12]

@letterappsoc I delivered this lovely hand painted post card today. I shouldn’t have taken this photo but I couldn’t resist. 😬

[david @redvanman12]

@thelonningsguy @letterappsoc Great interview and interesting what you think a postman’s job is now. I do one of the three rural deliveries that we have at our office in the west of Newcastle. I do 39 miles using a van of course. I do farms and little villages and a barracks. I’ve seen a lot of change.

@dirk7890 Bought my single at the Newcastle quayside Sunday market a year after it came out and still got it. I seen them play it at the Newcastle Mayfair goosebumps every time.

[david @redvanman12]

@dirk7890 when i first heard that album it was a wow. some great tunes .

[david @redvanman12]

@dirk7890 we used to record the festive fifty on cassette. what a list. i would play the lot especially number 33.

[david @redvanman12]

@letterappsoc I see letters to Canada are being sent back with a 'service suspended' sticker on. the Canadian post office may be on strike.
