Rest assured Oldspice that Gorgeous Gordon is about the only English speaking postie in my area and that's why he's so popular. Although he's only about 30 he's a traditional postman in that he actually knows everyone's names and will deliver stuff to the right house even if the address is not absolutely correct! Please don't get me on this subject - I am seriously thinking about taking a course in Polish and/or whatever they speak in Afghanistan as it's becoming more and more difficult to communicate with our customers at work.
I find it's often even difficult to communicate with the native English, born and bred kids nowadays. They're much more likely to greet you with a "Whoooah!" or a "Wasa? Wasa?" than a straightforward "Good morning".
