The Travelling Post Office

Caption Time - January / February 2005

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.
