    If that was the only postie that you had ever seen, you might well be lead to believe that were indeed all drunkards, but as most people have seen dozens, if not hundreds of sober ones, we know that this isn't the case.

    maybe they just have better balance?

    you can now extrapolate all posties are drunk

    I haven't seen that. I'm assuming it's a drunk postman.

    My point remains, putting it down to isolation is just as invalid as extrapolating based on one sighting. Establishing that it is a possibility however (which is the concern) is valid and faith in the postal service can be lost on that basis.
    If you think of it as 'us' verses 'them', then it's probably your side that are the villains.

    defensive? I think you will find its a factual response
    If you dont like facts then then sit at the mirror and try forcing that bottom lip back in
