fifia - Great topic idea!  Rural - and I do mean RURAL - delivery: Tsimandoa mail carrier, designed and engraved by Pierre Béquet, and issued by Malagasy on May 13, 1973 for Stamp Day, Scott No. 487. - nethryk  |

Must be a tough delivery route if you have to do it armed. Note the spear. Yappy dogs beware. |

Here is a good looking one from Prussia! My German album never lets me down.  Quote:

Here is a beauty! This boatservice started on April 8, 2005. Motor-driven boats are prohibited in the Spreewald, getting around with the rudder is necessary. On the eight kilometre-long route, the delivery on workdays is for currently 80 households, 20 vacation homes and scenic restaurants.  |

This should be a good thread Fifia, I'm surprised that no one has thought of it before. Here is a block of Canadian postal workers representing letter carriers, sorting clerks, mail truck drivers and postal station clerks.  |

No need to make assumptions with these -- a se-tenant strip of 10 from 1973.  |

on this Yes, I think everything what has to do with a human being moving mail/messages is acceptable. Thanks for all the compliments. I have my good (brilliant) moments. Here is another, crazy German one. A mailman with a 'letter kinderwagen'!  |

A Postman doing a funny walk whilst delivering Christmas goodies...  ... As you can see [right], when you post letters in Denmark they fall out through the bottom of the postbox.  No matter, they still get delivered [left] by that smiling Postman not yet doing his funny walk !  The Postman Knocks twelve times...  Here, he knocks only once !  More deliveries later......
