[13:00.56][laughs] If I live-to be80,
[13:04.30]I'll say it's because of the fresh air and getting up early,
[13:08.92]and having a physical job doing physical work.
[13:12.97]This means a lot to me, because I've always been an active type of person.
[13:17.99]I So the early mornings don't bother you?
[13:21.44]L No, I've always been an early bird.
[13:24.88]I used to help ,the milkman when I was at school.
[13:28.33]I What about winter?
[13:30.76]L Ar, well, it's a bit berder but I still like it.
[13:35.28]Another good thing of course is that I finish early,

[13:43.35]L It's nice to look at other people going to work with their briefeases and things, and think.
[13:49.49]Well, I've done over half my work,I'll be finished at lunch--time."
[13:54.85]And some people think it's a boring job.

[14:01.95]but you've got to know your area really well to sort the letters.
[14:06.29]I Ar yes.
[14:08.40]L People are generally very nice, but well, there are some difficult ones.
[14:14.33]They shout at you for walking on the Broaden, or got not shutting the gate,
[14:19.69]or because you have shut the gate, [laugh]
[14:22.85]or they park their cars so that you can't actually got to their front door.
[14:27.71]And of oourse there's the dogs.
[14:31.26]One took the top off my finger last year [Oh!]s
[14:35.31]so I don't care for them very much. It's a shame,
[14:39.54]because I like dogs really, the nice ones,
[14:43.28]but ...when there's one going for me I'm terrified of them.
[14:48.42]I Ar I should think so.
[14:50.67]L Something interesting is, whether you want to or not
[14:56.60]you find out a lot about the people you're delivering to.
[15:00.55]Perhaps I've never met them,
[15:03.71]but I know who's having tax problems,who's gone away on holiday,

[12:44.89]L Ur,that's all right,Now er....what ,do you want me to tell you about?
[12:49.85]I Well could you tell me aboutyour job?
[12:53.20]What do you like about it?
[12:55.84]L Well, most of all, I like getting up early in the morning.
[13:00.56][laughs] If I live-to be80,
[13:04.30]I'll say it's because of the fresh air and getting up early,
[13:08.92]and having a physical job doing physical work.
[13:12.97]This means a lot to me, because I've always been an active type of person.
[13:17.99]I So the early mornings don't bother you?
[13:21.44]L No, I've always been an early bird.
[13:24.88]I used to help ,the milkman when I was at school.
[13:28.33]I What about winter?
[13:30.76]L Ar, well, it's a bit berder but I still like it.
[13:35.28]Another good thing of course is that I finish early,
[13:39.02]so I can go to the pub for a pint 12 at lunch--time. I Ah!
[13:43.35]L It's nice to look at other people going to work with their briefeases and things, and think.
[13:49.49]Well, I've done over half my work,I'll be finished at lunch--time."
[13:54.85]And some people think it's a boring job.
[13:58.40]Well, it's certainly repetitive,
[14:01.95]but you've got to know your area really well to sort the letters.
[14:06.29]I Ar yes.
[14:08.40]L People are generally very nice, but well, there are some difficult ones.
[14:14.33]They shout at you for walking on the Broaden, or got not shutting the gate,
[14:19.69]or because you have shut the gate, [laugh]
[14:22.85]or they park their cars so that you can't actually got to their front door.
[14:27.71]And of oourse there's the dogs.
[14:31.26]One took the top off my finger last year [Oh!]s
[14:35.31]so I don't care for them very much. It's a shame,
[14:39.54]because I like dogs really, the nice ones,
[14:43.28]but ...when there's one going for me I'm terrified of them.
[14:48.42]I Ar I should think so.
[14:50.67]L Something interesting is, whether you want to or not
[14:56.60]you find out a lot about the people you're delivering to.
[15:00.55]Perhaps I've never met them,
[15:03.71]but I know who's having tax problems,who's gone away on holiday,
[15:08.23]who's having a birthday, and things like that.
[15:11.67]I Thank you, Les. You really seem to enjoy your work
[15:16.30]L I do.
