My postman even signs for packages for me so he (quote) "doesn't have
to ge=
t
me out of bed"!
...very small town - and we're hopefully getting a local council sponsored
ADSL upgrade this year!!!

LOL!
My postman even knows where the wife and I work. So he takes mail to
wherever he can find me.
The Pronto was actually shipped to my work address (Phil will
confirm:-)) but the postman knew I would not be there yet so took it to
my home :-)
One of the joys of a village location! No bloody broadband though :-(
Many thanks
