I Hellow, Les.
L Hello.
I It's very kind of you to give me some of your time.
L Ur,that's all right,Now er....what ,do you want me to tell you about?
I Well could you tell me aboutyour job?
What do you like about it?
L Well, most of all, I like getting up early in the morning.
[laughs] If I live-to be80,
I'll say it's because of the fresh air and getting up early,
and having a physical job doing physical work.
This means a lot to me, because I've always been an active type of person.
I So the early mornings don't bother you?
L No, I've always been an early bird.
I used to help ,the milkman when I was at school.
I What about winter?
L Ar, well, it's a bit berder but I still like it.
Another good thing of course is that I finish early,
so I can go to the pub for a pint at lunch--time. I Ah!
L It's nice to look at other people going to work with their briefeases and things, and think.
Well, I've done over half my work,I'll be finished at lunch--time."
And some people think it's a boring job.
Well, it's certainly repetitive,
but you've got to know your area really well to sort the letters.
I Ar yes.
L People are generally very nice, but well, there are some difficult ones.
They shout at you for walking on the Broaden, or got not shutting the gate,
or because you have shut the gate, [laugh]
or they park their cars so that you can't actually got to their front door.
And of oourse there's the dogs.
One took the top off my finger last year [Oh!]s
so I don't care for them very much. It's a shame,
because I like dogs really, the nice ones,
but ...when there's one going for me I'm terrified of them.
I Ar I should think so.
L Something interesting is, whether you want to or not
you find out a lot about the people you're delivering to.
Perhaps I've never met them,
but I know who's having tax problems,who's gone away on holiday,
who's having a birthday, and things like that.
I Thank you, Les. You really seem to enjoy your work
L I do.
