Hello Keith, glad to know Teddy is fine. I left the Post Office as changes were being made which I felt were not good for the future. I went into Ford Tractor Plant and spent some time as a Test Driver. I then left and went into engineering, specializing in engine building and modification and worked for Hawkspeed Racing and Planet Motor Conversions. I ended working for Benchsound Engines in Stanford-le-Hope. I then took on lodgers as I made my big house into a small B&B when the kids had gone. I did very well for a number of years then decided to sell up and move to Cyprus. We moved here in 2003 and have a beautiful appartment in a small village and we adore the place. The kids come out now & again as do friends and we have made many friends, Cypriot and Brits. Tell Teddy it's the best move I ever made!!! That's about it in a nutshell Keith, but I have ever forget those smashing posties who were so great to work with, we were just one big happy family. I'll send you a few photos to show Teddy if you send me your e-mail address as I dont suppose he is on line but thats up to you. Anyway Keith thanks for keeping me informed and my best to Teddy. Cheers, Jim Green
