IT'S ALL ABOUT THE CONE SHAPED GLOVE THIS SEASON FOR MEDWAYS BIGGEST FASHION ICON
Thomas Fletcher Waghorn - Postal pioneer who revolutionised the
mailing system by developing a new route between Great Britain and India.
Or for those of a Medway persuasion a.k.a “that bloke with
the cone on his head “
Rarely does a week go
by without him sporting his jaunty head attire or adornments that would give
lady gaga a run for her money in the avant garde fashion stakes.
Why, only last week
he was seen modelling a rather edgy piece of arm candy in the shape of a
roadworks barrier and if my memory serves me correctly I believe one Christmas
his usual orange and white titfer was replaced by a jolly Santa bonnet .
While being a leader in experimental style and letter
delivery may be rewarding enough in itself there is one job he does that means
far more to those who pass him by on their way to or from Chatham.
And that is putting a smile on even the saddest of faces, so
thanks Thomas, I really needed that last week and apologies to the old couple who
clearly thought I was quite mad when I burst out laughing at the sight of him!
