postie

It is part of the fabric of British life and many people still have a fond relationship with their 'postie', who walks down their path bringing their letters and parcels to their door.

Postie Sam was just finishing her round when we caught up with her near a new St Mary's Walk sign that had been erected in the town with no apostrophe.

That debate is well under way, but for many like Karishma McGregor, the daily sight of the postie on their rounds would be greatly missed.

However, CWU general secretary Dave Ward said that offer represented a "devastating blow" to postal workers' livelihoods and urged the public to "stand with their postie".

Berkshire postie Azhar Bhutta realised there was a problem when he logged onto the Barclays app on 13 June.
