Luckily I was not born in the middle ages, because as I realized early, everthing is about letters.

und dann, Räder, besser gesagt um 2 - Motorräder, oder Zweiräder. Und wo kann ich das am Besten tun? Na, bei der Post.

Mails have to be collected, transported from one end of the country 
to the other, and then delivered. Postal operations can range from intensive city-centre work, to a rural postman delivering a single letter to a lone cottage on the moors.

"Driving is everything."

There are various options for deliverers to move within their delievery district.

Die Marvelettes baten 1961 beispielsweise mit "Please Mr. Postman" ihren Postboten, eine Minute zu warten und dabei noch mal nachzusehen, ob er nicht doch noch einen Brief von "ihm" in seiner Tasche hat. Dieser Titel wurde später von den Beatles und den Carpenters gecovert.

When he came the whole village was waiting for him.
They were happy and sometimes they had presents or they just danced for him.ere the people are happy to see the postman.

Natürlich war ich immer pünktlich, denn sie stand in der Haustüre und wartete auf mich genau um 6 Uhr.

After my tyring day I was looking forward to come home.

infront of the door exactly at 6.

At some point around the turn of the century I switched to the motorcycle and was able to expand my area of responsibility.

Noch heute kenne ich jemanden, der diese Zeit intensiv miterlebt hat.

There were no postmen in China for a long time.

I still know someone today who lived through this period intensely.

Schliesslich wurde meine Geschichte sogar verfilmt,

Finally my history found the way to the movies,
 

und kürzlich kam in Spanien eine Briefmarke von mir heraus,

der Schwarze Zwölfer.

and recently a postage stamp from me came out in Spain, the black twelve.

I have a memorial in Sierra Vista, Arizona.

And this how it looks at the post officwe today.
 

And this is the "Post" today.
