The view isn't so nice when it's blowing an easterly 7 or 8 and p#ssing with rain and you have to ride a bike all the way back to the sorting office

I'd have thought the ride up there was worse, it's downhill all the way back! I'm surprised they still let you out on a bike anyhoo, mind you, i dread to think what you'd do if they gave you a van!!!

I rest my case! They should give you a tricked out caddy or something to deliver in, it'd stay mint that way and probably cost less in the long run!

Ha ha, no mate, Herm is in that second pic, you're confusing it with that 'floating city' down south from here, crapaud land or something it's called eh?

Actually in all seriousness, I love Jersey, it's actually where my family is from, hence the last name 'Larbalestier'. Coming down there for a day or night out is the highlight of my boating season! Everyone in town over here seems to have something to prove, whereas the atmosphere in Jersey is so much more relaxed!
Still, as a Guern, i can never normally admit to that!!
