The rarest of the rare – and I saw it
I’m taking a short break from school work now to blog about an amazing glimpse I caught of a rare breed on my way home from school.
It is amazing exactly which species dare to be brave and risk roaming the streets in broad daylight – and it is every hunter’s dream to catch first sight.
So imagine my shock to see, in these troubled times, the rarest of the rare breeds as I cycled through Twydall at 2pm: a postal worker!
Let’s hope it is the first sign of a mass-migration from the pickets to an honest day’s work.

Yes, I saw one as well! Indeed, I received my first postal delivery for several days.
Fortunately, as a paperless Councillor, my receipt of most important documents from the council has not been affected, as I download so much from the Medway Council website. Thus, all I received in yesterday’s “snail mail” were two small envelopes from elsewhere, and nothing at all from the council.
It is my hope that other councillors will now see the value of my approach, and perhaps at least a few of them might also go “paperless”. It would save a fair chunk of forestry, plus all the paper, toner, envelopes and postage costs, which would reduce public expenditure.
Okay, in reality the saving wouldn’t be huge, but it would be a step in the right direction.
For example, a couple of weeks ago all 55 of us received a hefty item that cost £1.91 in postage. Just that one item of post on one day thus cost over £100 — and these big items turn up at various times: this was not a one-off. These items should be emailed to us as PDF files — or, if they are too large for that, either be made downloadable (if they are public documents, e.g. the council’s Performance Plan) or sent in encrypted form on CD.
I have been able to establish such practices in a number of areas of the council since first being elected a few years ago, but am still working on the others…
