About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another ordinary morning at Bawdeswell Post Office when an elderly gentleman entered with a peculiar package under his arm. The delivery driver, adjusting his cap, eyed it curiously as he sorted through letters and parcels. As the old man approached the counter, he smiled warmly and said, ‘Good morning, dear! I’d like to send this package to myself.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually stoic delivery driver who remarked, ‘Sir, you’re sending it back to yourself? That’s quite efficient!’ The old fellow simply nodded, winked, and replied, ‘Well, why not? It saves time on waiting for someone else!’

2. A delivery driver was unloading packages one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar. Among the usual boxes and envelopes lay a small, brightly wrapped package addressed to ‘The Mayor of Bawdeswell’. As he opened it curiously, out popped a tiny note saying: 'Dear Mayor, please deliver happiness wherever you go!' Inside were just a few packets of sugar. Turns out, someone had accidentally sent the local sweet shop owner’s order to City Hall.

3. A delivery driver was sorting mail one day when he heard a familiar voice behind him. ‘Excuse me, sonny,’ said an old lady, ‘I believe you’ve got my package addressed to Mrs. Bawdeswell.’ The delivery driver turned around and saw an elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye. 'Ah, Mr. Jenkins!' he exclaimed. 'I thought you'd moved away years ago.' The old man chuckled, shaking his head. 'Just passing through, sonny,' he replied, 'and couldn't resist stopping by for some nostalgia.'

4. A delivery driver was sorting mail one day when he saw a package addressed to ‘Postmaster General, c/o Bawdeswell Post Office.’ Curious, he opened it and found… nothing but a note that read: ‘Dear Sir, please deliver this letter to yourself.’ The delivery driver scratched his head, puzzled. He took the note to the postmistress, who laughed heartily. ‘It’s probably just some prank,’ she said. A few days later, another package arrived with the same message. The postmistress shook her head fondly, smiling as she thought, “Bawdeswell must be full of fun-loving people.”
