Dear Granny Smith
Book cover
Roy Mayall’s book now available to order on Amazon:
This book is a letter to you, me, all of us, from a British postie. A fascinating, eye-opening, heartfelt letter which goes behind the scenes, through the ages, in the sorting room and out on the daily round, to tell the other side of the story.
At a recent staff meeting, a postman asked what the modernisation of the Royal Mail would mean for “Granny Smith” – the little old lady who lives
alone and for whom the mail service is a lifeline.
alone and for whom the mail service is a lifeline.
“Granny Smith isn’t important,” was the reply. “Granny Smith doesn’t matter anymore.”
Well, Dear Granny Smith is an attempt to explain why she does matter. An appeal to all of us to spend an evening by the fire with a cup of cocoa and take a quiet moment to read a letter from the people who are the real Santas, not just at Christmas but all year round…
I have just read the book “Dear Grany Smith” having been a “postie” for 30 years too he nailed it.
I can relate to all that was written.
Everything he said was oh so true the changes that have happend to the “GPO/Royal Mail” which is slowly bringing it down.
