Postie

A Memory of Swindon.

I moved to Swindon in 1977 and became a Postman this entailed three weeks training in a hut/ classroom in the Head Postal sorting office all gone now! we had to learn all the streets in Swindon and one fact sticks in my mind then there was just one pigeon hole for Toothill ! now there is a delivery office for west Swindon.
my first delivery was Groundwell road area and as had not been issued with a uniform only had a plastic mac = and it rained every day for a week! my thoughts were What have i done things improved and was a postie for 27 years and enjoyed it,
