Childhood memory, the post office door had an actual brass bell fitted to it, on entering if the post master was in the back their parrot used to scream 'Wipe your feet' followed by 'No stamps today'.

The parrot may outlive us all. Was your father a teacher at the school? There was a chemistry teacher of that name.
