Subject: Postman Ken Chaplin pushing his bicycle across a causeway to Osea Island, near Maldon, Essex. Islanders sent a letter of praise declaring - Ken rides his bike over whatever the weather, he expects no thanks for the many little jobs he does, (he) just gets on with it. Although he had never been stranded on the island, just in case, he always rode over in wellington boots. The rough and slippery causeway meant Ken fitted double tyres to his red heavy-duty bike.
