The Royal Mail have asked their customers to show appreciation for the postmen and postwomen who continue to deliver post despite the COVID-19 crisis

The Royal Mail have asked their customers to show appreciation for the postmen and postwomen who continue to deliver post despite the COVID-19 crisis.

Suggesting that people give posties a thumbs up from a safe two metre distance as they go about their rounds, a spokesman from Royal Mail said:

"The initiative is a simple way for the public to say thanks and stay connected with their local postmen and women, while respecting the Government’s social distancing rules.

“Giving a thumbs up is also a handy reminder not to reach out to try and take parcels direct from postmen and women to ensure contact-free delivery.

"Royal Mail’s postmen and postwomen are at the heart of the communities in which they work.”

As well as providing your postie with a friendly thumbs up, customers are being asked to share selfies with their thumbs up, using the hashtag #ThumbsUpForYourPostie.

The postal giant is also encouraging children to put ‘thumbs up’ pictures in their windows. Templates are available to download from royalmail.com.
