There is a rush on
To buy country estates here.
Cities are passé

n.b. I won’t bore you with the details, but it seems that the unnecessarily wealthy are keen to have a bit more garden and staff / servants to help keep everything orderly. It seems living on a super-yacht, or in a city centre penthouse suite feels like confinement during a pandemic lockdown. Poor loves.

I kept out of it
Today the echoed footsteps
Were not made by me

No longer gold-paved
Whittington has turned away
Back to the country

n.b. I refer you to the story of Dick Whittington and (appropriately for this FaceBook age) his cat. The cat ended up quite wealthy too.

Bognor, Chichester, Portsmouth and Southsea
Men and women, your local posties
In all weathers tramping the streets
Sensible shoes on hard-working feet
Besides a red top without which they’d never be caught
It’s de rigueur for them to wear shorts
.
n.b. It’s part of the way the posties on the South Coast seem to dress for work.
Postal delivery staff are a group of public service workers that have really been put through the mill by the demands of privatisation. They deserve our respect and thanks for their part in the fabric of our society.
They visit every front door in the country. They know stuff.
