hey

its a great job and i know a few people who do ithere in the UK. U start early but finish work at mid day once ur round is done,u will get about £6.50 per hour,the rest of the day is free to do as u wish. Its a wicked job!! Go for it and have fun. at least with this job ur not stuck in an offive or factory ect.
Search it up on the net
You can always look it up on the net.
Go for it! What do you have to lose?
if you like getting up at the crack of dawn and plodding around witha bag in the rain, then yes. good job
Like gold prospects.ummm don't follow. People from the UK have bad teeth though.
YES
They have a bad reputation at the moment because of several negative news stories about them and their workers.
(Postman arrested, 400000 letters found in his flat.
Rubber bands litter pavements. etc)

Still I'd probably take the job if I were you. They are a nationally recognised company and so will (probably) be a fair employer.

They are a huge employer.
Check out their website.
You any good at rain/snow/wind? You know what the great brit weather's like.
Pays V good, benefits are V good, if you join the Union.
Sounds weird that You an American would wanna work here after all isn't the US the best country in the world!
Is there no work where you are or do you just fancy a change?

YO! COME TO the UK, have fun dude.
& yep most, if not almost all of us are cool over here, but be prepared for arguments about Iraq & you'll be fine.
It's not bad money about £7.00 per hour i think and you will need money while you get your singing career started.
better than working for Mcdonalds
It is very hard work! There is an awful lot of post to deliver on an average day, you have to be fit and strong, it looks like you are from your avi. I think Royal Mail are a good company to work for, as long as you work directly for them and not through a dodgy agency. :)
you wont make it as a singer so this is your best option
If you have no better concrete offers, then absolutely. Go for it!

But be warned. Most of England is not like the photos. You might get really lucky though. Wherever it is, it will be a great experience for you.

And there is no better job for a songwriter than being a postie. You can write tunes in your head as you do your rounds. Watch out for all those desperate housewives though..
