Postman Pat - An Inconvenient Truth



Postman Pat - a stalwart of children’s television since the early 80s. He’s trustworthy, respectable and a pillar of the quaint village of Greendale. Together with Jess his pet cat and his plain but reliable red van he provides a class A postal service and that’s how it was the last time I watched, maybe 10 years ago? Maybe even more.


Postman Pat – a delivery service emperor. Just what the fuck? Have you seen Postman Pat recently? I don’t know if he creamed off Greendale’s pension fund or married some old baroness then knocked her off for the dosh but DAMN, the man is now running a service that rivals FedEx!! He has expanded his vehicle base to include a post bus, a minivan, a motorcycle and a fucking Airwolf! All this AND his original van!!!!


Now of course the BBC fat cats will have you believe this is all above board but I’m more cynical in these time of recession. Pat is no longer to be trusted, if he has scammed his way to the top or if £90 million of licence payer’s money funds his delivery empire, something needs to be done before he’s found drowned next to his 200 foot yacht. I’m not convinced about Jess either, I think there’s some Botox involved there and perhaps some cocaine use.


People, I urge you, be vigilant.

  1. It's ok for some.

    I heard Bob the Builder has been laid off because of the credit crunch and spends his days drinking cheap cider on a bench outside the off licence while shouting obscenities at passers-by.
