With a sharp rise in online shopping due to lockdown, what's life like for our postmen these days?

People keep a close eye on James McSweeney’s legs.
I use them as a weather forecast on the school run every morning, when we run into him on his postal route around Ballyphehane. You can forget about met.ie — as long as James has his legs out in a pair of An Post cargo shorts, we’re going to be alright. If James is wearing his long pants, it’s going to be cold, with the possibility of rain.
