Pat's reliability soon promoted him to the Special Delivery Service. When the railway running through Greendale was reopened, Pat then became able to send off out of Greendale mail, by loading it onto the mail truck coupled behind the steam locomotive known as the Greendale Rocket. When Pat started to get overloaded with more and more parcels, he was given his very own postal trolley similar to those he had once seen in London.
But eventually, it was decided that the post bus was not so important for the postal service, so Pat sold it to the school as their own personal transport. After this, he only use it on special occasions and if the van broke down, or in the case of Ted Glen's robot postman use it as a reinforced pursuit vehicle. Pat soon recieved his own post bus as well as the van, which he first tested on a journey to Ingledale. Pat is always glad to take his cat Jess with him on his rounds to Pat, life would not be the same without his feline companion and he sometimes feels that he is the brains of the outfit. As the said newspaper had listed his birthday for that week, Pat was most surprised that everyone seemed to know that which he had meant to keep a secret, until he saw the article. He loves to get the chance to stop and have a chat with them and the sight of their smiling faces when they recieve a card or a present from a loved one truely makes Pat's day.īy the time his next birthday came round, the Pencaster Gazette awarded him the "Postman of the Year", for being such a helpful postman. Being a postman gives him the opportunity to see all his friends and neighbours daily, not just within the village, but also in the beautiful countryside outside. By this point, Pat knew he had picked just the right occupation and there is no other job he would rather have. Eventually, his helpful nature was known by everyone and the locals of Greendale adored him. Everyday as he went around on his rounds, he was always the man with the answers and the helping hand for everything. Pat's working life started as being the local postman of Greendale in Cumbria. Pat's father and grandfather were postmen, so he knew what he wanted to be.
As a young lad, Pat used to think that he might like to be a train driver, but of course this was just a childhood idea.
