| | |  Floods didn't stop postman from delivering DH
England has been suffering from a massive flood - however, that didn't stop one postman from delivering Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to residents. Richard Yates, of Harvington near Evesham, Worcestershire, couldn't do his normal work because of the floods, so instead he loaded up his car with about twenty pre-ordered copies of the novel and set off to delivering them on his own.
Chris Haynes, a resident of the town, had this to say about the event: Quote:
"We had seen the flood water and all the post vans outside the main post office earlier in the day and were resigned to not getting the copy. But, about an hour later, a 4x4 came up the drive and out got this chap with a big grin on his face and explained what he was doing."
Good for you, Richard Yates! What an awesome thing to do!
Thanks to TheSnitch! | |

That is SO sweet. That's someone who genuinely cares about his job and the people around him. We need more people like that in this world! | |

Aw, that's so nice of him...
You'd never catch a Canadian and/or American postman doing that from my experiences 
He definitely understands the HP fans. He should get a signed D.H himself!

We spent time here. We made friends here. That's a part of us.
Cause Hogwarts is bigger than any of us, of any of it's founders,

Maybe we'll see our kids come here one day.
That's the thing about Hogwarts.
No matter how long you're away from it, there's always a way back. | |
