The Travelling Post Office

Caption Time - June 2004

The Travelling Post Office like a good laugh, so we thought it would be a good idea to follow in the tradition of Nene Steam and have an area on the website that was just for fun. An area where we could show some of the more humorous aspects of our operation. So, if you can think of any humorous comments about the following picture then please email me here and I will try to use the best ones.

"The exciting new Cambridgeshire band, 'Sorted!' pause during a photo shoot for the cover of their debut album 'Browncoat'"
"I can't see anything wrong here now Brian, they must have 'sorted' it on that last TPO run!"
Clip from David Attenborough's latest nature documentary.  "Of course, the best way to see Browncoats in the wild is to entice them infront of your hide using a suspended lure soaked in Neatsfoot Oil. Then, whilst the young feed, the parents keep watch for any signs of the predatory night males. If they're spotted, the browncoats will retreat into their den or 'bothy' and the adults will use a red, white, yellow and black alarm device to distract the predator. However, perhaps realising that if they starve their prey, they too will starve, the night males don't steal the lure but usually exchange it for another."
from Margaret Craggs ...
"Here lads - I've just found the instructions."
